Raphael (Mercury)

Named after Raffaello Sanzio Raphael - Italian painter (1483-1520).

Raphael is a crater on Mercury. Unlike other Mercurian craters of similar size, Raphael is not multi-ringed. (wikipedia entry)

A crater is a circular depression likely created by an impact event. On Mercury they are named after deceased artists, musicians, painters, and authors who have made outstanding or fundamental contributions to their field and have been recognized as art historically significant figures for more than 50 years.
