MESSENGER sends cool new images of Mercury!
Quote

A NASA probe has begun beaming back stunning new images from its successful second flyby of Mercury, the planet closest to the sun.

NASA's MESSENGER probe captured never-before-seen views of the Mercury during its encounter on Monday.

Great stuff. The universe is awesome!

Long time the manxome foe he sought--
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.

Even more battered, though. There's one really huge crater, with a group of mountains on the opposite side of the planet where the ripples converged. Cool!

Awesome pics.

Also - LoL - look at the closeup picture of the crater - it has a face in it (next to the crater that looks like a sperm) - reminiscent of the face on Mars. Now we have a face on mercury too :-)

Yep. I think it looks a lot like our moon too. Haven't had the telescope out lately to remind myself what it looks like.

Life would be quite comfortable in Mercury's twilight zone. Provided on had food, water, oxygen, and adequate radiation shielding.

Thanks, nice reminder that the economy is an annoying flea on the back of the solar system.
I didn't know it takes three years for it to settle into orbit (be there in March 2011), does it come back to Earth in the meantime?

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 481329


Because there are no color CCDs that meet the requirements for power, reliability, or resistance to radiation. And you can generate color images from a greyscale image with the use of filters.
