Beckett is a pit-floored crater on Mercury, which was discovered in January 2008 during the first flyby of the planet by the MESSENGER spacecraft.

[2] Its floor is not smooth and displays a telephone or arc-shaped collapse feature, which is also called a central pit.

[3] Such a feature may have resulted from the collapse of a magma chamber underlying the central part of the crater[3] (see also Gibran, Glinka, and Picasso).

The collapse feature is an analog of Earth's volcanic calderas.
