caption_attribution_description: English: Mussorgskij crater on Mercury. Approximate color representation combining three images acquired by MESSENGER Wide Angle Camera (EW1006148309G, EW1006148313F, EW1006148317I) 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: 0.2 Incidence Angle: 55.0 Latitude: 33.4 Longitude: 263.4 Phase Angle: 54.9
context_page_description: Mussorgskij is a crater on Mercury. It has a diameter of 125 kilometers. Its name was adopted by the International Astronomical Union in 1979. Mussorgskij is named for the Russian composer Modest Mussorgsky, who lived from 1839 to 1881.
  There are irregular depressions at the center of Mussorgskij, which are similar to those within Navoi, Lermontov, Scarlatti, and Praxiteles. The depressions resemble those associated with volcanic explosions.
