A striking black and white image of the Mare Orientale impact basin on the Moon's western edge, captured by NASA's Lunar Orbiter 4 in 1967.  The photo showcases the basin's three concentric rings, formed by an ancient asteroid impact over 3 billion years ago. The dark, smooth mare (Latin for sea) is a result of molten lava flooding the impact site.

Enhanced color mosaic of Mercury's Caloris basin, one of the solar system's largest impact basins.  The image, from NASA's MESSENGER spacecraft, shows the basin's yellowish hues and orange splotches, interpreted as volcanic vents.  This reveals new evidence of Mercury's volcanic past and lava flows.
