Scientific paper

Recent systematic mapping of Mercury has revealed many ancient and previously unrecognized multi-ring basins. The population of these basins now stands at 20, possibly is as large as 25, and includes at least 76 measurable rings. From the new data base, the authors present some systematics of basin ring spacing on Mercury, compare them with similar data for the Moon, and draw some preliminary conclusions on conditions of ring formation for basins on the terrestrial planets.
