Your Reply: HTML is ON UBB Code is ON Smilies Legend	[QUOTE]Originally posted by Robert Pearlman: [B]JHU/APL release <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="+0">[b]First Color Image of Mercury from Orbit[/b]</font> <div align="justify">The first image acquired by MESSENGER from orbit around Mercury was actually part of an eight-image sequence, for which images were acquired through eight of the WAC's eleven filters. Here we see a color version of that first imaged terrain; in this view the images obtained through the filters with central wavelengths of 1000 nm, 750 nm, and 430 nm are displayed in red, green, and blue, respectively. One of MESSENGER's measurement objectives is to create an eight-color global base map at a resolution of 1 km/pixel (0.6 miles/pixel) to help understand the variations of composition across Mercury's surface.</div></BLOCKQUOTE> <center><a href="http://messenger.jhuapl.edu/gallery/sciencePhotos/image.php?page=1&gallery_id=2&image_id=437" TARGET="AirLock"><img src="http://www.collectspace.com/review/messenger_orbit03.jpg" WIDTH="400" HEIGHT="400" BORDER="0"></a> <font size="-2">Credit: NASA/JHU APL/Carnegie Institution of Washington</font></center> More photos sent from MESSENGER in orbit about Mercury can be [URL=http://messenger.jhuapl.edu/gallery/sciencePhotos/index.php]found here[/URL].[/B][/QUOTE]
