caption_attribution_description: English: Most of Aksakov crater on Mercury. Approximate color representation combining three images acquired by MESSENGER Wide Angle Camera (EW1005917902I, EW1005917894G, EW1005917898F) 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: 0.3 Incidence Angle: 49.7 Latitude: 34.5 Longitude: 279.9 Phase Angle: 49.5
