Mercury Globe 5x in 516,000 Facets by GlobeMaker

Last crawled date: 4 years, 5 months ago

The Mercury Messenger Spacecraft mapped half of Mercury and sent the elevation data to The Planetary Data System. I got their files and made a 3D model. Data points are there every half degree of longitude and latitude. The elevations are exaggerated 5 times. The globe is 5.5 inches at sea level. Peaks are bigger.
