Summary

DescriptionWaters crater site242.1000.750.png	English: This crater is now known as Waters. Original NASA caption follows: Date acquired: May 16, 2011 Image Mission Elapsed Time (MET): 214069807, 214069811, 214069815 Image ID: 261719, 261720, 261721 Instrument: Wide Angle Camera (WAC) of the Mercury Dual Imaging System (MDIS) WAC filters: 9, 7, 6 (996, 748, 433 nanometers) in red, green, and blue Center Latitude: -8.82° Center Longitude: 254.9° E Resolution: 294 meters/pixel Scale: The center crater has a diameter of approximately 14 kilometers (9 miles) Incidence Angle: 41.8° Emission Angle: 25.6° Phase Angle: 67.4° Of Interest: This high-resolution color image shows a 14-kilometer diameter crater that is relatively young, as indicated by the bright rays that cross the neighboring features. A dark "tongue" of impact melt, which has a bluer color than the nearby surface, appears to have flowed out of the crater. 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.
