Tags: Crater.
The Derain quadrangle (H-10) is one of fifteen quadrangles on Mercury. It runs from 288 to 360° longitude and from -25 to 25° latitude. Named after the Derain crater it was mapped in detail for the first time after MESSENGER entered orbit around Mercury in 2011. It had not been mapped prior to that point because it was one of the six quadrangles that wasn’t illuminated when Mariner 10 made its flybys in 1974 and 1975.
