something puzzled me about the picture of Caloris Basin, as long as we're discussing Mercury: there are striations radiating from a cenral crater that appear to be fracture lines of the surface crust, but these do not appear from other impact craters. There is something different about that crater; it is central, but not the largest in the Caloris Basin.
