About this work
In this enhanced color view from NASA MESSENGER spacecraft of the peak-ring basin Derain, the different colors accentuate the different rocks associated with the basin. The smooth, interior volcanic fill of the basin, in addition to the large pits on the floor of Derain, are brighter and redder. This view was created by draping a color composite from the MDIS Wide Angle Camera (WAC) over an MDIS monochrome Narrow Angle Camera (NAC) image mosaic.
