As the MESSENGER spacecraft approached Mercury on January 14, 2008, the Narrow Angle Camera, (NAC), of the Mercury Dual Imaging System, (MDIS), snapped this image of the crater Matisse. Named for the French artist Henri Matisse, Matisse crater was imaged during the Mariner 10 mission and is about 210 kilometers, (130 miles), in diameter. Matisse crater is in the southern hemisphere, near the terminator of the planet.
