I believe that 'Sky and Telescope' published a new mosaic of Mercury about 2 years ago, utilizing Mariner 10 images. It shows the entire hemisphere of Mercury imaged by Mariner 10 and was created by Mark Robinson of Northwestern, I believe. However, can any one find that image on the Internet? I'm sorry, but I do not recall which issue of 'Sky and Telescope' included that mosiac. Another Phil |

Thank you for this link. There is one mosaic, from the link above, from Mariner 10's second encounter with Mercury, that is close to what was in Sky and Telecope, namely this one. However, as noted on the website, the gores in this image were to be filled in using images from the 1st and 3rd Mercury encounter. I believe that that was the mosiac that I saw in S and T. Does anyone have access to that image? I really liked it as it showed the entire hemisphere of Mercury, that was imaged by Mariner 10, in one view. Another Phil |
