Summary

DescriptionColors of the Innermost Planet.gif	English: This colorful view of Mercury was produced by using images from the color base map imaging campaign during MESSENGER's primary mission. These colors are not what Mercury would look like to the human eye, but rather the colors enhance the chemical, mineralogical, and physical differences between the rocks that make up Mercury's surface. Deutsch: So sieht Messenger Merkur (Falschfarben, die das Material hervorheben).
