Scientific paper

Images of the 280°-360°/0°-10° W longitude sector of Mercury’s surface produced from the results of recent ground-based astronomical observations are presented. This sector remained beyond the imaging from the Messenger spacecraft in 2008. Vast dark regions, up to 1000 km in diameter, are adjacent to the S Basin in the west. The dark objects, as well as the other large geomorphologic units found before in the 240°-360° W longitude sector from ground-based astronomical observations, are probably asymmetrically distributed on Mercury’s surface similar to those observed in the other terrestrial planets and the Moon.
