Summary
DescriptionCrater west of Oskison crater EW0220677117G.png |
English: Date acquired: August 01, 2011
Image Mission Elapsed Time (MET): 220677117 Image ID: 577219 Instrument: Wide Angle Camera (WAC) of the Mercury Dual Imaging System (MDIS) WAC filter: 7 (748 nanometers) Center Latitude: 60.18° Center Longitude: 141.9° E Resolution: 58 meters/pixel Scale: This crater is approximately 39 km (24 mi) in diameter. Incidence Angle: 81.2° Emission Angle: 0.8° Phase Angle: 80.5° Of Interest: This image features a crater situated at the edge of the larger Oskison crater located in the plains north of Caloris basin. Due to MESSENGER's highly elliptical orbit, MDIS's Wide Angle Camera is capable of capturing higher resolution images in Mercury's northern hemisphere, such as this 58 meters per pixel view. A detailed look at the crater reveals its terraced walls, smooth floor, and its superposition on Oskison's shadowed rim. This image was acquired as part of MDIS's high-resolution surface morphology base map. The surface morphology base map will cover more than 90% of Mercury's surface with an average resolution of 250 meters/pixel (0.16 miles/pixel or 820 feet/pixel). Images acquired for the surface morphology base map typically have off-vertical Sun angles (i.e., high incidence angles) and visible shadows so as to reveal clearly the topographic form of geologic features. |
