Why do we know so little about Mercury? 🤔 It mostly comes down to the planet's proximity to the Sun. This makes Mercury more difficult to observe, harder to reach and too hot to orbit up close. But our #BepiColombo mission is ready for the challenge. Read more 👉 www.esa.int/Science_Expl... 🔭 🧪

Three reasons why we know so little about Mercury

Mercury is the least explored of the four rocky planets of the inner Solar System. It took until 2011 for the first spacecraft, NASA’s probe MESSENGER, to enter into orbit around the planet. In compar...

Ce mercredi 8 janvier 2025, la sonde spatiale européenne #BepiColombo survolera pour la 6ème et dernière fois la planète Mercure, réduisant encore sa vitesse. Lors de son prochain passage en 2026, elle se mettra enfin en orbite, et la phase scientifique commencera. 🧪 www.esa.int/Science_Expl...
Infographie expliquant le sixième survol de Mercure par BepiColombo. Au centre du graphique, nous voyons le vaisseau spatial survoler la planète. À gauche, nous voyons le système solaire interne en perspective, avec les positions de Mercure, Vénus et de la Terre indiquées. À droite, nous voyons quels instruments de BepiColombo seront activés pendant le survol.

We had an exciting time at ESA ESOC yesterday watching these beautiful images arrive. These already amazing views are from engineering monitoring cameras;the science cameras will give us far better images after arrival in orbit in late 2026. #BepiColombo #planetaryscience www.esa.int/Science_Expl...
