Uploader comment: This image, taken with the Narrow Angle Camera (NAC), gives us a close-up view of newly named Stevenson crater. One of the 23 Mercury craters recently assigned names by the IAU, Stevenson crater was named in honor of Robert Louis Stevenson, the nineteenth century author best known for The Strange Case of Dr.
