Hermeology: Fresh Impact Crater and Rays from Hokusai Crater
http://hermeology.blogspot.com/2014/09/fresh-impact-crater-and-rays-from.html
An extraterrestrial photoblog about the planet Mercury. Thursday, September 11, 2014. Fresh Impact Crater and Rays from Hokusai Crater. At the left edge of this color view is a relatively fresh crater, featured previously in this oblique view. Chains of secondary craters can be seen emanating from the crater, but its bright rays have already nearly faded into the background. Bright, relatively blue rays do cross the scene from northwest to southeast, but these are the famous rays. This image was acquired...

Hermeology: October 2014
http://hermeology.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
An extraterrestrial photoblog about the planet Mercury. Thursday, October 2, 2014. Today's image is a lovely color view of the impact crater Sor Juana. The crater interior contains smooth material, probably impact melt, that embays the central peak. The rim is relatively sharp, with well developed terraces. Sor Juana does not have its own rays - the bright ray patches containing chains and clusters of secondary craters that are dotted around the scene originated at Hokusai. This image was acquired as a h...

An extraterrestrial photoblog about the planet Mercury. Saturday, September 13, 2014. Is seen in this color view of Mercury's surface. Hemingway is the 130-km (81-mile) diameter crater with a relatively brown floor and small patch of dark blue in its center. This impact crater has irregular depressions on its floor, which are fairly common in other impact craters and may be due to explosive volcanic events, but the low-reflectance, blue patch on the floor may point to a more complex history. This image w...

Ministry of Space Exploration: Europa Remastered
http://minsex.blogspot.com/2014/11/europa-remastered.html
Ministry of Space Exploration. Saturday, November 22, 2014. The puzzling, fascinating surface of Jupiter's icy moon Europa looms large in this newly-reprocessed color view, made from images taken by NASA's Galileo spacecraft in the late 1990s. This is the color view of Europa from Galileo that shows the largest portion of the moon's surface at the highest resolution. The view was previously released as a mosaic with lower resolution and strongly enhanced color (see PIA02590. This global color view consis...
