"MESSENGER's final image. From the MESSENGER website: ""This afternoon, the spacecraft succumbed to the pull of solar gravity and impacted Mercury's surface. The image shown here is the last one acquired and transmitted back to Earth by the mission. The image is located within the floor of the 93-kilometer-diameter crater Jokai. The spacecraft struck the planet just north of Shakespeare basin."" Image Credit: NASA/Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory/Carnegie Institution of Washington"
