Exploring Mercury: the iron planet [PDF]
Choice Reviews Online, 2004 Planet Mercury is both difficult to observe and difficult to reach by spacecraft. Just one spacecraft, Mariner 10, flew by the planet 30 years ago. An upcoming NASA mission, MESSENGER, will be launched this year and will go into orbit around Mercury at the end of this decade. A European mission is planned for the following decade.

The Influence of Surface Binding Energy on Sputtering in Models of the Sodium Exosphere of Mercury
The Planetary Science Journal, 2022 We have simulated the sodium (Na) exosphere of Mercury to show how the exosphere is affected by the assumed surface binding energy (SBE) of Na in the sputtered component.

Potential impacts of mercury released from thawing permafrost
Nature Communications, 2020 Permafrost locks away the largest reservoir of mercury on the planet, but climate warming threatens to thaw these systems. Here the authors use models to show that unconstrained fossil fuel burning will dramatically increase the amount of mercury ...

Nature, 1887 THE planet observed on the mornings of December 7 and 9 by your correspondent “G. F. P.” (NATURE, December 15, p. 151), was probably not Mercury but Jupiter, as these bodies were near together at the time, and the latter was by far the brightest and most conspicuous. The circumstances, described by “G. F.

Simple Physics and Integrators Accurately Reproduce Mercury Instability Statistics
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The long-term stability of the solar system is an issue of significant scientific and philosophical interest. The mechanism leading to instability is Mercury’s eccentricity being pumped up so high that Mercury either collides with Venus or is scattered ...

Elevated mercury concentrations in humans of Madre de Dios, Peru. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The enormous increase in practically unregulated mining in Madre de Dios Peru is leading to massive release of liquid elemental mercury to the environment. Rapidly increasing global prices for gold are causing a massive upsurge in artisanal mining in the
