MESSENGER Gallery October 2008 - Mercury Crater Close-Up
This Wide Angle Camera image was acquired 9 minutes and 14 seconds after MESSENGERs closest approach to Mercury on its second flyby, when the spacecraft was moving at 6.1 kilometers/second (3.8 miles/second). The image, centered at about 2.4S, 290E, is one in a sequence of 55: a five-frame mosaic with each frame in the mosaic acquired in all 11 of the WAC filters.
