Scientists added color to this MESSENGER image. The colors highlight the different materials on Mercury’s surface. The light blue lines are rays from young impact craters. The arrow on the left points to bright material most likely from a volcanic eruption long ago. The right arrow points to one of the areas of mysterious dark bluish material on Mercury. You can see the area in the white box closer up in the smaller picture, top right.
