Summary

Description
English: Date acquired: July 13, 2011

Image Mission Elapsed Time (MET): 219038585 Image ID: 499240 Instrument: Narrow Angle Camera (NAC) of the Mercury Dual Imaging System (MDIS) Center Latitude: -53.88° Center Longitude: 83.80° E Resolution: 361 meters/pixel Scale: The largest crater in this image is approximately 105 km (65.24 mi) wide Incidence Angle: 67.1° Emission Angle: 2.0° Phase Angle: 68.9°

Of Interest: The largest crater in this image is superimposed by three different craters that each have central peaks. The largest of these superimposed craters is overlapped by one of the others, creating a small crater partially inside another which in turn has another smaller crater partially inside it. Much of Mercury's surface is heavily cratered so overlapping craters can be seen in many places, including the areas around Camoes crater seen here. (Note: the crater Camoes is not shown here and all of the craters are unnamed as of August 2022. All lie within Utaridi Planitia)

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.
