We can’t just talk about Mercury. Sometimes you’ve just got to see it. Before NASA’s MESSENGER spacecraft, there weren’t a lot of Mercury pictures to choose from. But now the floodgates are open, MESSENGER is sending back more pics of Mercury with each flyby. So here are some of the best photos of Mercury taken so far. I also recommend you to read these amazing books for more information about the planet Mercury.
This first image of Mercury was actually taken by NASA’s Mariner 10 spacecraft, while the others were seen by MESSENGER. As you can see, the new images are so much better than the older ones.
Here are some facts about Mercury.
