Planet Mercury
A new and detailed picture of Mercury is emerging thanks to NASA’s MESSENGER mission that spent four years in orbit about the Sun’s innermost planet. Comprehensively illustrated by close-up images and other data, the author describes Mercury’s landscapes from a geological perspective: from sublimation hollows, to volcanic vents, to lava plains, to giant thrust faults. He considers what its giant core, internal structure and weird composition have to tell us about the formation and evolution of a planet so close to the Sun. This is of special significance in view of the discovery of so many exoplanets in similarly close orbits about their stars. Mercury generates its own magnetic field,...
Mercury
How Gig is Mercury? What is it made from? How far is Mercury from the Sun? How many Earth days does it take Mercury to orbit the Sun once? What is it really like on Mercury? What are day and night like on Mercury? What future missions are planned to explore Mercury?

Mercury
Offers an authoritative synthesis of knowledge of the planet Mercury after the MESSENGER mission, for researchers and students in planetary science.
Mercury
The smallest planet in our solar system is also the closest to the sun. That means on Mercury, one year is just 88 days long! Discover more facts about the small but mighty Mercury.
Mercury
Discusses the orbit, surface features, exploration, and other aspects of the planet Mercury.
Mercury
Scientists have unraveled some of the many puzzles surrounding the planet closest to the Sun. In this book, readers study the arid and unusual climate of Mercury and discover how its speedy orbit of the Sun makes Mercury the fastest moving planet. Author Michael D. Cole takes readers on an exploration of one of the solar system's most mysterious places and sheds some new light on a planet bathed in the glare of the Sun.
Exploring Mercury
Strom: Mercury How did Mercury get such an enormous iron core? Why is its tectonic framework so different from any other planet or satellite? What is its crystal composition? Why is the crust so depleted in iron when the interior is so rich in that element? What are the polar deposits? Where do the elements in the exosphere come from? Mercury is a planet shrouded in mystery. Only 45 percent of its surface has been seen in any detail, and that was from the Mariner 10 flyby in 1974. Yet what is known only makes the planet more fascinating. New Earth-based observations have shed light on surface and exosphere compositions, and re-evaluations of the Mariner 10 data, using modern image processing techniques, show evidence for volcanic flow fronts, pyroclastics and other volcanic phenomena not seen before. This ground-breaking book not only chronicles what has been discovered, but looks ahead to what has yet to emerge. An accompanying CD contains all the best Mariner 10 images, including the data for each image, photomosaics and maps.
