Image Mission Elapsed Time (MET): 57488460 Image ID: 7374372 Instrument: Narrow Angle Camera (NAC) of the Mercury Dual Imaging System (MDIS) Center Latitude: 71.7° S Center Longitude: 213.7° E Resolution: 115 meters/pixel Scale: Han Kan crater is about 50 km (31 mi.) in diameter Incidence Angle: 75.2° Emission Angle: 23.7° Phase Angle: 51.5° North is to the top left in this image. Of Interest: Situated high in Mercury's southern hemisphere, Han Kan is a 50-km-diameter impact crater with a well preserved central peak and a smooth floor that is likely solidified impact melt. The crater's perimeter is relatively sharp, indicating that it formed in the latter part of Mercury's history. Terracing along the crater's wall resulted from localized collapses after Han Kan formed. This charming crater is named for the Chinese painter Han Kan (720–780 CE), who is renowned for his life-like and spirited paintings of horses. 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. |
