Summary
[edit]DescriptionKuiper (MESSENGER) bright.png |
Українська: Молодий променястий кратер Койпер на Меркурії. Діаметр — 62 км. Знімок космічного апарату MESSENGER, зроблений вузькокутною камерою (MDIS-NAC) 6 жовтня 2008 року.
English: Young rayed crater Kuiper on Mercury. Its diameter is 62 km. Photo by MESSENGER, made by Narrow Angle Camera (MDIS-NAC) on 6 October 2008. Original description: During Monday°s flyby of Mercury, MESSENGER°s NAC captured a new view of the bright, radial ejecta rays of Kuiper crater that were previously imaged by Mariner 10 at a lower Sun angle. Kuiper crater is named for Gerard Kuiper, a Dutch-American astronomer who was also a member of the Mariner 10 team. Bright ejecta rays such as these are produced as impacts excavate and eject relatively unweathered subsurface material. The ejecta rays of Kuiper and other large craters are observed to extend for hundreds of kilometers across the cratered terrain of Mercury, as seen on the full planet image from MESSENGER°s Wide Angle Camera (WAC) released previously. |
