List of Mercury Craters

The surface of Mercury, at the bottom center the Atget crater

The list of Mercury craters only includes the previously officially named impact craters on Mercury . The craters on Mercury are named after deceased artists, musicians, painters and writers who achieved outstanding or fundamental achievements in their field and who have been recognized as important in terms of art history for more than 50 years. The only exceptions to this are the two craters Kuiper and Hun Kal . Gerard Peter Kuiper played a leading role in the preparation and organization of the Mariner program. Shortly after his death in 1973, the Mariner 10 probe sent the first high-resolution images of the surface of Mercury to Earth. It was only through these images in 1976 that the first topographical Mercury objects could be identified and named. And the smallest named Mercury crater Hun Kal defines the 20th degree of longitude west and is therefore the basis of the planetographic coordinate network of Mercury.

Official names of structures on celestial bodies are given by the International Astronomical Union (IAU). The lists are administered by the US Geological Survey (USGS) in the Gazetteer of Planetary Nomenclature (see web links). They are updated online.

Probably the largest topographical object on Mercury caused by an impact is the Caloris Basin , but due to its very flat and level structure, the IAU counts it among the Planitiae and not among the craters.
