English: Date acquired: December 17, 2012

Image Mission Elapsed Time (MET): 264237810, 264237814, 264237830 Image ID: 3157538, 3157539, 3157543 Instrument: Wide Angle Camera (WAC) of the Mercury Dual Imaging System (MDIS) WAC filters: 9, 7, and 6 (996, 748, and 433 nanometers) in red, green, and blue Center Latitude: -59.16° Center Longitude: 149.3° E Resolution: 1,663 meters/pixel Scale: This scene is over 1,900 km (1,180 mi.) across Incidence Angle: 59.2° Emission Angle: 28.8° Phase Angle: 78.1°

Of Interest: The set of images shown here in color was acquired as part of a sequence intended to monitor any changes in the calibration of the multispectral Wide Angle Camera over time, but it also gives a beautiful view of Mercury's cratered southern hemisphere. The craters Magritte, Neruda, and Sher-Gil can be spotted within this scene. North is to the top-left of the image.
