Mercury From Messenger

NASA/UCSB

The planet Mercury as seen from the MESSENGER spacecraft, for MErcury Surface, Space Environment, GEochemistry, and Ranging. The mission has uncovered a wealth of new information about the nearest planet to the sun. Its core is relatively huge, for one thing — almost 85 percent of the planet’s radius. By contrast, Earth’s core is about half its radius.
