Xiao Zhao (crater)

Xiao Zhao (crater)
Planet Mercury
Diameter 23.0 km
Eponym Xiao Zhao

Xiao Zhao crater is small in comparison with many other craters on Mercury. However, Xiao Zhao's long bright rays make it a readily visible feature. The fresh, bright rays, which were created by material ejected outward during the impact event that formed the crater, indicate that Xiao Zhao is a relatively young crater on Mercury's surface.[1]

Xiao Zhao is located near Eastman crater.
