INTO ORBIT

Mercury's vast Caloris basin, 1,550 kilometers in diameter, is visible as a large circular orange feature at the center of this false-color picture. The region will be studied extensively by NASA's MESSENGER spacecraft, which on March 17 became the first probe to ever orbit Mercury. Credit: NASA, Johns Hopkins Univ.
