Homer (crater)
Homer is a crater on Mercury. It is one of 110 peak ring basins on Mercury. Deposits of material in and around this crater suggest the possibility of explosive volcanic eruptions at some point in the planet's history. An unnamed crater in northwestern Homer (about 18 km diameter) contains hollows and has dark ejecta. The crater name was approved by the IAU in 1976. The naming of Stark Y crater on the moon, located northwest of Stark, as ''Homer'', was not approved by the IAU. The small but fresh crater Dominici lies along the northern margin of Homer. The crater Handel is to the northeast, and Titian is to the southwest.

Dominici (crater)
Dominici is a Impact crater, crater on Mercury (planet), Mercury. Dominici's bright rays indicate that it is relatively young, and the young rays appear light blue in enhanced-color images. Dominici also has bright material on its floor and is surrounded by crater ejecta and material that appears orange in enhanced color. These color differences, as in nearby Titian (crater), Titian crater, suggest that the impact crater excavated material from beneath Mercury's surface that differs in composition from the surrounding surface. Dominici lies within a much larger impact structure, the Homer (crater), Homer basin. Bright areas in and around Dominici are Hollows (Mercury), hollows.

Nearby Titian (crater), Titian crater is marked with an arrow. References Impact craters on Mercury {{Mercury-planet-st ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
