What planet is this, mmmh?
The Mercury Surface, Space Environment, Geochemistry, and Ranging (MESSENGER) mission has sent back its first image of Mercury since entering orbit on March 17.
The dominant rayed crater in the upper portion of the image is Debussy. The smaller crater Matabei with its unusual dark rays is visible to the west of Debussy. The bottom portion of this image is near Mercury's south pole and includes a region of Mercury's surface not previously seen by spacecraft.
