DescriptionTyagaraja crater 1637966.png |
English: Date acquired: April 12, 2012
Image Mission Elapsed Time (MET): 242713071 Image ID: 1637966 Instrument: Narrow Angle Camera (NAC) of the Mercury Dual Imaging System (MDIS) Center Latitude: 3.70° Center Longitude: 211.1° E Resolution: 75 meters/pixel Scale: Tyagaraja crater is about 97 km (60 miles) in diameter Incidence Angle: 68.4° Emission Angle: 9.7° Phase Angle: 78.2° Of Interest: This image, taken with the Narrow Angle Camera (NAC), gives us a stunning high-resolution view of Tyagaraja crater. The crater was named for Kakarla Tyagabrahmam, colloquially known as Tyāgarājar, the 18th century composer of Carnatic music or classical South Indian music. One of the most distinctive features of Tyagaraja is the large number of coalesced hollows covering large portions of the crater floor; these may have been formed by sublimation of a component of the material when exposed by the original impact. When imaged in color, reddish volcanic vents can be seen at the crater's center. 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. |
