About this work
This image is one of the highest-resolution MDIS observations to date! Many craters of varying degradation states are visible, as well as gentle terrain undulations. Very short exposure times are needed to make these low-altitude observations while the spacecraft is moving quickly over the surface; thus the images are slightly noisier than typical MDIS images. This image was acquired as a high-resolution targeted observation.
