## What is Mercury Atlas 3D?

Mercury Atlas 3D is an interactive globe for exploring the innermost planet in detail.
Rotate, zoom and inspect Mercury using surface imagery, terrain relief and named feature labels. Search for craters, scarps, plains and other surface features, then open linked reference material where available.
Use Surface Options to switch quality levels, enable satellite imagery, show false-colour overlays and manage cached map data. Lighting controls make it easy to inspect the globe from different illumination angles, while scale and measurement tools help compare distances across the surface.
Mercury Atlas 3D also includes country outline overlays, so you can drop familiar Earth shapes onto Mercury and compare the scale of planetary features at a glance.

Features:
• Interactive 3D Mercury globe
• MESSENGER-based surface imagery
• Relief shading and displacement detail
• Named craters, scarps, plains and other surface features
• Feature search with linked reference articles where available
• Satellite image tile support
• False-colour overlay option
