Description
English: MESSENGER image of Mercury’s horizon about 56 minutes before the spacecraft’s closest pass by the planet. The peak-ring basin Dürer (named from Mariner 10 photos for the German artist Albrecht Dürer) is visible. The smaller crater Mickiewicz (named for the Polish poet Adam Mickiewicz) can also be seen, with a smaller central peak-ring structure in the middle of its crater floor. In the lower part of the image the 86 km diameter Glinka crater with a bright central pit can be seen.
