Scientific paper

Since 2001, the ALPO Mercury Section has received numerous, high-quality drawings and images that depict the range of 280 degrees longitude. These observations have made a significant contribution toward mapping the portion of the planet that was not imaged by the Mariner 10 spacecraft. A previously suspected feature of relatively low albedo, possibly a basin or a large, dark-floored crater, is being consistently recognized. It is the most prominent feature on the entire surface of Mercury.
