First Image from Mercury Orbit

Messenger is the first space craft to orbit Mercury. Here is the the First Image Ever Obtained from Mercury Orbit. "The dominant rayed crater in the upper portion of the image is Debussy. The smaller crater Matabei with its unusual dark rays is visible to the west of Debussy. The bottom portion of this image is near Mercury's south pole and includes a region of Mercury's surface not previously seen by spacecraft."
