Images from messengers second mercury fly by

MESSENGER made its second flyby of the innermost planet October 6, and it's already sending back stunning images of never-before-photographed features.


Enjoy
:bigjoint:





The spectacular image shown here is one of the first to be returned and shows a WAC image of the departing planet taken about 90 minutes after the spacecraft's closest approach to Mercury.




Machaut is the name of a crater, approximately 60 miles (100 kilometers) in diameter, first seen under high-Sun conditions by Mariner 10 in the 1970s. The crater is named for the medieval French poet and composer Guillaume de Machaut. This NAC image shows an amazing new view of Machaut taken during MESSENGER's second flyby of Mercury.



About 58 minutes before MESSENGER's closest approach to Mercury, the NAC captured this close-up image of a portion of Mercury's surface imaged by spacecraft for the first time during this flyby. This image is one of 44 in a high-resolution NAC mosaic taken of the approaching crescent-shaped Mercury.



This image, acquired about 89 minutes before the craft's closest approach to Mercury, resembles the optical navigation images taken leading up to the flyby. This WAC image is one of 11 viewed through different narrow-band color filters, the set of which will enable detailed color studies of this newly imaged area. In addition, the Narrow Angle Camera (NAC) acquired a high-resolution mosaic of most of this thin crescent view of Mercury at a resolution better than 0.5 kilometers/pixel (0.3 miles/pixel) that will enable the MESSENGER team to explore this newly imaged region of Mercury's surface in more detail.
