caption_attribution_description: English: Approximate color image of Mercury from Hitomaro crater at top to Darío crater in lower right. Approximate color representation combining three images acquired by MESSENGER Wide Angle Camera (EW0253419217I, EW1051081114F, EW1051081118G) with I (996.2 nm), G (748.7 nm), and F (433.2 nm) filters. Combined in GIMP software as RGB (Red-Green-Blue), and then rotated so that north is up. Statistics for I image: Emission Angle: 0.4 Incidence Angle: 28.4 Latitude: -23.5 Longitude: 346.2 Phase Angle: 28.1
