Debussy crater

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Date acquired: September 13, 2011

Image Mission Elapsed Time (MET): 224377798 Image ID: 753201 Instrument: Wide Angle Camera (WAC) of the Mercury Dual Imaging System (MDIS) WAC filter: 7 (748 nanometers) Center Latitude: -32.84° Center Longitude: 18.14° E Resolution: 1363 meters/pixel Scale: Debussy is 80 km (~50 miles) in diameter

Of Interest: The extensive rays of Debussy stretch across this image of Mercury's limb. The crater and its rays appear brighter than the surrounding surface for the most part because the crater is relatively young. The excavated materials have not resided on the surface long enough to have been substantially darkened by space weathering.

This image was acquired as part of MDIS's limb imaging campaign. Once per week, MDIS captures images of Mercury's limb, with an emphasis on imaging the southern hemisphere limb. These limb images provide information about Mercury's shape and complement measurements of topography made by the Mercury Laser Altimeter (MLA) of Mercury's northern hemisphere.
