Summary
[edit]DescriptionCrater within Hafiz crater EN0236872479M.map.png |
English: This crater is within a large crater now known as Hafiz. The crater is a dark spot (#50) from Xiao, et al. (2013).
Date acquired: February 04, 2012 Image Mission Elapsed Time (MET): 236872479 Image ID: 1353311 Instrument: Narrow Angle Camera (NAC) of the Mercury Dual Imaging System (MDIS) Center Latitude: 19.43° Center Longitude: 81.37° E Resolution: 22 meters/pixel Scale: The edges of this image are approximately 23 km (14 miles) long Incidence Angle: 50.4° Emission Angle: 9.3° Phase Angle: 41.1° Of Interest: This impact crater, approximately 25 km (16 miles) in diameter, has been heavily modified by landslides. Portions of the crater's walls detached and slumped towards the floor, producing terraces along the wall, landslide deposits on the crater floor, and modifying the crater's outline from circular to irregular. The small bright spots on the landslide deposits (near the top of the image) may be hollows, similar to those seen in other impact craters on Mercury. 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 250-meter/pixel (820 feet/pixel) morphology base map or the 1-kilometer/pixel (0.6 miles/pixel) color base map. It is not possible to cover all of Mercury's surface at this high resolution during MESSENGER's one-year mission, but several areas of high scientific interest are generally imaged in this mode each week. |
