Pantheon Fossae

Summary[edit]

Description
English: Date acquired: December 25, 2011

Image Mission Elapsed Time (MET): 233263747 Image ID: 1179175 Instrument: Narrow Angle Camera (NAC) of the Mercury Dual Imaging System (MDIS) Center Latitude: 31.1° Center Longitude: 159.8° E Resolution: 40 meters/pixel Scale: The large impact crater is approximately 14 km (8 miles) in diameter Incidence Angle: 31.2° Emission Angle: 4.1° Phase Angle: 32.5°

Of Interest: The troughs of Pantheon Fossae extend across this scene, located between Cunningham and Apollodorus craters. This 14-km crater appears to have formed after Pantheon Fossae, with its ejecta covering the troughs.

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.
