Hi Tim,
Can you please send me a couple, three pics if it hasn't sold yet. I am 
interested.

> The International Astronomical Union (IAU) recently approved a proposal
> from the MESSENGER Science Team to assign names to nine impact craters
> on Mercury. The IAU has been the arbiter of planetary and satellite
> nomenclature since its inception in 1919. In keeping with the
> established naming theme for craters on Mercury, all of the newly
> designated features are named after famous deceased artists, musicians,
> or authors or other contributors to the humanities. The newly named
> craters are:
>
>    * Catullus, for Gaius Valerius Catullus (ca. 84 BC-ca. 54 BC), a
>      Latin poet of the Republican period. His surviving works are still
>      read widely and continue to influence poetry and other forms of art.
>
>    * Disney, for Walter Elias "Walt" Disney (1901-1966), an American
>      film maker, actor, and animator who, along with his brother Roy O.
>      Disney, co-founded Walt Disney Productions, which later became one
>      of the best-known motion picture producers in the world.
>
>    * Hopper, for Edward Hopper (1882-1967), a prominent American
>      realist painter and printmaker. Although he was most popularly
>      known for his oil paintings, he was equally proficient as a
>      watercolorist and printmaker in etching.
>
>    * Joplin, for Scott Joplin (1868-1917), an African-American
>      composer and pianist who wrote 44 original ragtime pieces, one
>      ragtime ballet, and two operas. One of his first pieces, the
>      "Maple Leaf Rag," became ragtime's first and most influential hit
>      and has been recognized as the archetypal rag.
>
>    * Kobro, for Katarzyna Kobro (1898-1951), a prominent Polish
>      sculptor who co-founded the AR ("Revolutionary Artists" or
>      "avant-garde Actual"). She is credited with revolutionizing
>      thinking about sculpture. Her work explored the relations between
>      the art object, the audience, and the surrounding space.
>
>    * Komeda, for Krzysztof Komeda (1931-1969), a Polish film music
>      composer and jazz pianist best known for his work in film scores.
>      He wrote the scores for Roman Polanski's films "Rosemary's Baby,"
>      "The Fearless Vampire Killers," "Knife in the Water," and
>      "Cul-de-sac." His album "Astigmatic" (1965) is widely regarded as
>      one of the most important European jazz albums.
>
>    * Kyosai, for Kawanabe Kyosai (1831-1889), a Japanese artist who
>      attained a reputation as a caricaturist. In addition to his
>      caricatures, Kyosai painted a large number of pictures and
>      sketches, often choosing subjects from the folklore of his country.
>
>    * Popova, for Lyubov Popova (1889-1924), a Russian painter,
>      graphic artist, theatrical designer, applied artist, and
>      illustrator. She painted in a Cubo-Futurist style and designed
>      fabrics and agitprop books and posters.
>
>    * Waters, for McKinley "Muddy Waters" Morganfield (1915-1983), an
>      African-American blues musician, generally considered the father
>      of modern "Chicago blues." He was a major inspiration for the
>      British blues explosion in the 1960s and is ranked No. 17 in
>      /Rolling Stone/ magazine's list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All
>      Time.
