New Crater from MESSENGER

From NASA:




This region of Mercury's surface will have a new crater at about 3:30 p.m. EDT today! Traveling at 3.91 kilometers per second (over 8,700 miles per hour), our MESSENGER spacecraft will collide with the planet's surface, creating a crater estimated to be 16 meters (52 feet) in diameter.
