Image Mission Elapsed Time (MET): 2952754 Image ID: 3503675 Instrument: Narrow Angle Camera (NAC) of the Mercury Dual Imaging System (MDIS) Center Latitude: 26.29° Center Longitude: 301.0° E Resolution: 31 meters/pixel Scale: This image is 33 km (21 mi.) across. Incidence Angle: 62.2° Emission Angle: 8.2° Phase Angle: 54.0°

Of Interest: Within Praxiteles, several potential volcanic vents are visible. One such vent, in the bottom left of this image, is particularly interesting because it also hosts many hollows. The bottom right of the image shows a crater chain that has also been altered by the formation of hollows. Further study is needed to fully understand the relationship between hollows and the materials in which they form.

This image was acquired as a high-resolution targeted observation. Targeted observations are images of a small area on Mercury's surface at resolutions much higher than the 200-meter/pixel morphology base map. It is not possible to cover all of Mercury's surface at this high resolution, but typically several areas of high scientific interest are imaged in this mode each week.
