'Moving its cameras southward and towards the terminator [of Mercury],
Mariner 10 took this series for a mosaic centered about 135°
longitude and 30°S latitude. The mosaic is
dominated by a bright-ringed large crater almost at its center.
Just above it is a large basin that shows a ruined inner ring.'
(James A. Dune, The Voyager of Mariner 10, Washington,
