    First ever image of Mercury from orbit!



    MESSENGER - Unlocking the Mysteries of Planet Mercury
    http://messenger.jhuapl.edu/gallery/sciencePhotos/image.php?gallery_id=2&image_id=432
    Understanding Mercury and how it formed is critical to better understanding the conditions on and evolution of the inner planets. Fortified against the searing conditions near the Sun, MESSENGER (MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging) provided the first images of the entire planet. The mission also collected detailed information on the composition and structure of Mercury's crust, its geologic history, the nature of its thin atmosphere and active magnetosphere, and the makeup of its core and polar materials.

    I got pics and video. But I will upload them in the morning. I need to smoke this nice phat joint and just close my eyes and replay the amazingness in my head.

          sheesh you got some good green. I read an article about how horrendously challenging it was to get the probe into Mercury's orbit (I think 36 miles above the surface or so) because mercury is so close to the sun, the gravitational tug of the sun completely distorts most gravity fields near mercury. gotta hand it to the scientists.

          I won't be back until next Tuesday, so if Get Carter is the correct answer, I would appreciate of someone else posts a new cap for me

                                                  This release was mastered direct from vinyl at the request of the DJ and as such features natural sound characteristics of this medium such as record surface noise.
