Eponym | Joseph Nāwahī |
Nāwahī is a crater on Mercury. Nāwahī crater is located within the large Caloris basin, near the western rim. The unusual dark material creating a halo around Nāwahī makes this crater of special interest, as the dark material likely represents rocks with a different chemical and mineralogical composition than those of the neighboring surface.[1] The crater is named after Hawaiian patriot and painter Joseph Nāwahī.[2][3]
Hollows are present in Nāwahī, mostly along the terraces of the crater rim. A confirmed dark spot is present in Nāwahī.[4] This dark spot is associated with the hollows.
