Date acquired: March 26, 2012
Image Mission Elapsed Time (MET): 241236952
Image ID: 1566240
Instrument: Narrow Angle Camera (NAC) of the Mercury Dual Imaging System (MDIS)
Center Latitude: -44.13°
Center Longitude: 251.5° E
Resolution: 369 meters/pixel

Of Interest: Here, the peak-ringed Michelangelo basin is seen close to the terminator. Hawthorne crater (outside this image field of view past the upper right corner) may be the source of the secondary crater chains that cross through the basin. North is towards the bottom of this image.
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 200-meter/pixel morphology base map. It is not possible to cover all of Mercury's surface at this high resolution, but typically several areas of high scientific interest are imaged in this mode each week.
