Summary

Description
English: Date acquired: April 14, 2011

Image Mission Elapsed Time (MET): 211242212 Image ID: 128691 Instrument: Wide Angle Camera (WAC) of the Mercury Dual Imaging System (MDIS) WAC filter: 7 (748 nanometers) Center Latitude: 26.70° Center Longitude: 299.3° E Resolution: 365 meters/pixel Scale: The diameter of Praxiteles is 198 km (123 miles) Incidence Angle: 32.9° Emission Angle: 26.0° Phase Angle: 59.0°

Of Interest: Near the peaks of Praxiteles' inner ring are irregularly shaped depressions surrounded by high-reflectance material with a distinct color signature. These pits are suspected sites of past volcanic activity.

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.
