English: Date acquired: August 14, 2011
Image Mission Elapsed Time (MET): 221844487, 221844483, 221844479 Image ID: 632390, 632389, 632388 Instrument: Wide Angle Camera (WAC) of the Mercury Dual Imaging System (MDIS) WAC filters: 9, 7, 6 (996, 748, 433 nanometers) in red, green, and blue Center Latitude: 4.19° Center Longitude: 65.30° E Resolution: 204 meters/pixel Scale: Firdousi is approximately 96 kilometers (60 miles) in diameter Incidence Angle: 37.0° Emission Angle: 14.6° Phase Angle: 51.7° Of Interest: Firdousi is a relatively fresh impact crater approximately 96 kilometers (60 miles) in diameter. Its abundant secondary craters dominate the surroundings, and many have haloes of high-reflectance, relatively blue ejecta. 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. |
