Image Mission Elapsed Time (MET): 213547274 Image ID: 237117 Instrument: Narrow Angle Camera (NAC) of the Mercury Dual Imaging System (MDIS) Center Latitude: 43.71° Center Longitude: 290.9° E Resolution: 21 meters/pixel Scale: This image from corner to corner is approximately 15 km (9 mi.) Incidence Angle: 68.0° Emission Angle: 17.3° Phase Angle: 85.4°

Of Interest: Focusing on the central peaks of a large unnamed crater (now named Larrocha) between Stravinsky and Velazquez, this image takes a close look at hollows on both the crater floor and the peaks. It is interesting to note that the hollows seem to follow the shape of the central peak ring, and are seen in lower concentrations on the crater floor. Another interesting observation is that the large hollow in the center of the image has a crisp, fresh appearance. This suggests that some hollows are relatively young features, and could be in the process of forming today.

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.
