Tags: Crater.

Gibran is a crater on Mercury which was discovered in January 2008 during the first flyby of the planet by MESSENGER spacecraft. It contains a large (29 × 29 km) nearly circular pit crater. Multiple examples of pit craters have been observed on Mercury on the floors of impact craters leading to the name pit-floor craters for the impact structures that host these features.
