Coloris Basin on Mercury indicates hollow planet structure

The floor of the Coloris Basin on Mercury is convex, following normal planetary curvature. Here, the 'crater rim' indicates a diameter of 1300 km. As is normal with impact craters of this size, concentric rings are seen within the 'crater rim'. This structure can only occur from a rebounding crust on a hollow planet.
