And a quick peek at the new image of the rayed crater near the limb, reprojected. Looks like another one with bright material inside it.

Just as Mercury has 'hot poles' does it also have, perhaps 'impact poles'; areas which (owing to Mercury's orbital and rotational properties) are likely to receive slightly more and/or slightly higher velocity impacts than other places?
