The Mercury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry and Ranging (MESSENGER) spacecraft was the first spacecraft to orbit the planet Mercury. Previous analysis of MESSENGER data has established that of all the planets in the solar system, Mercury's ...

Rotation of the Planet Mercury
Science, 1966The equations of motion for the rotation of Mercury are solved for the general case by an asymptotic expansion. The findings of Liu and O'Keefe, obtained by numerical integration of a special case, that it is possible for Mercury's rotation to be locked into a 2:3 resonance with its revolution, are confirmed in detail.

Rotation of the Planet Mercury
Nature, 1965SOLAR tidal friction must be an intense effect for Mercury, and it must be expected that the planet's spin would have relaxed from any original value to one that is under the control of this effect in a time short compared with the age of the solar system.

Optical polarimetry of planet mercury
Icarus, 1974Abstract Polarimetric measurements were collected at different areas of the surface of Mercury, and for the whole disk in six wavelengths. The curves of polarization are compared with telescopic observations of the Moon and laboratory studies of minerals and returned lunar samples.

Mercury is the smallest among the planets of our solar system. Its diameter is only about 2/5 of that of the Earth, about 4880 km. Even some moons of Jupiter and Saturn, Ganymede and Titan, are bigger. Mercury is the planet closest to the Sun and named after the roman God of dealers and thieves.

Mercury is one of Earth’s cosmic neighbors, regularly approaching to within 80 million km (50 million mi)—closer than any planet other than Venus and Mars. At such times, it becomes a tiny beacon that rivals Sirus, the brightest star in the sky. Yet although the existence of this elusive little planet has been recognized since prehistoric times, it ...
