Picasso is a crater on Mercury. It has drawn scientific attention because of the large, arc-shaped pit crater located on the eastern side of its floor. Similar pits have been discovered on the floors of several other Mercury craters, such as Beckett and Gibran. These pits are postulated to have formed when subsurface magma subsided or drained, causing the surface to collapse into the resulting void. If this interpretation is correct, pit-floor craters such as Picasso provide evidence of shallow magmatic activity in Mercury's history.

| - Picasso és un cràter d'impacte en el planeta Mercuri de 134 km de diàmetre. Porta el nom del pintor espanyol Pablo Picasso (1881-1973), i el seu nom va ser aprovat per la Unió Astronòmica Internacional el 2010. Aquest cràter ha cridat l'atenció científica causa del gran cràter de subsidència, en forma d'arc situat al costat oriental del seu sòl. S'han descobert pous similars en els sols d'altres cràters de Mercuri, com el Beckett i el Gibran. S'ha postulat que aquests pous s'han format quan el magma de sota la superfície es va calmar o drenar, fent que la superfície s'enfonsés en el buit resultant. Si aquesta interpretació és correcta, els cràters com el Picasso proporcionen una evidència de l'activitat magmàtica poc profunda en la història de Mercuri (ca)

It was named after the Spanish painter and modern artist Pablo Picasso by the IAU in 2010. Picasso lies on the north rim of the ancient Lennon-Picasso Basin. (en)
