Now that’s a scarred surface. Makes the moon look smooth.

Have we been shooting paint balls at Mercury?

I never knew Mercury’s surface looked like this! You truly educate me every, single day. You’re a gem!

Wow! I know the image is in false color, but still, it looks like a metal base-plate that’s been used repeatedly as a support base for a welding operation - or like the base plate on my Estes rocket launcher after I’d been using it for a while.

Thanks, once again, for posting such amazing pics.

With that satellite orbiting Mercury there should be enough imagery for Google Earth to add Mercury.
