Summary

Description
English: Carnegie Rupes makes a dramatic sight in this large image mosaic. The giant lobate scarp cuts through Duccio crater. If you were to approach the scarp from the southwest, you would find yourself facing a wall nearly 2 km high! Be sure to zoom in for a closer look!

Carnegie Rupes was named after a research vessel launched in 1909. The ship was built almost entirely from wood and other non-magnetic materials to allow sensitive magnetic measurements to be taken for the Carnegie Institution's Department of Terrestrial Magnetism.

Instrument: Mercury Dual Imaging System (MDIS) Center Latitude: 57.6° Center Longitude: 306.2° E Resolution: 250 meters/pixel

Scale: Duccio crater is approximately 133 km (83 mi.) in diameter.
