Mickey Mouse’s Impression on Planet Mercury / Click to Enlarge

NASA’s Messenger spacecraft has spotted a pretty decent looking Mickey Mouse Impression while orbiting Planet Mercury. This peculiar set of craters is located in the south of Mercury, just above a recently named crater – Magritte. During Messenger spacecraft’s one-year primary mission it took about 88,746 images of the planet. If Walt Disney were alive, he would have been pleased to know that he made his mark with his cartoon characters, not just on Earth but on other planets as well.
