Journal ArticleDOI
The apparent lack of lunar-like swirls on Mercury: Implications for the formation of lunar swirls and for the agent of space weathering
David T. Blewett,Brett W. Denevi,Mark S. Robinson,Carolyn M. Ernst,Michael E. Purucker,Sean C. Solomon +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined images returned by the MESSENGER spacecraft from the Mercury flybys to search for anomalous high-albedo markings similar to lunar swirls.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of MESSENGER high-resolution images of Mercury's hollows and implications for hollow formation
David T. Blewett,A. C. Stadermann,Hannah C.M. Susorney,Carolyn M. Ernst,Zhiyong Xiao,Zhiyong Xiao,Nancy L. Chabot,Brett W. Denevi,Scott L. Murchie,Francis M. McCubbin,M. J. Kinczyk,Jeffrey J. Gillis-Davis,Sean C. Solomon,Sean C. Solomon +13 more
TL;DR: In this paper, high-resolution images from MESSENGENGER provide morphological information on the nature and origin of Mercury's hollows, small depressions that likely formed when a volatile constituent was lost from the surface.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phase-ratio images of the surface of Mercury: Evidence for differences in sub-resolution texture
David T. Blewett,Connor L. Levy,Nancy L. Chabot,Brett W. Denevi,Carolyn M. Ernst,Scott L. Murchie +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the MESSENGER phase-ratio images for features on the surface of Mercury, including hollows on the floor of Eminescu basin, a pyroclastic deposit found within the Caloris basin, and a dark impact-melt flow produced by the impact that formed Waters crater.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Moon Diver as discussed by the authors is a robotic exploration of the Mare Tranquillitatis, a large basaltic pit accessed by the Apollo 11 lunar regolith samples, which is a keystone for understanding planetary geological processes throughout the Solar System.
Journal ArticleDOI
The distribution and origin of lunar light plains around Orientale basin
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the distribution, variability, and origin of light plains associated with the Orientale basin using data from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC).
