Mercury's Messenger

Messenger sent back an excellent photo of Mercury already.


link to much much much larger (1024×1024px) version

I first saw the image in a Wired News article. It had a link to the news release page for the spacecraft. Oh, and it was on today's APOD (Astronomy Picture of the Day).

Personally, I think it is awesome. Perhaps we can exploit other planets just before we officially kill our own. Yeah, sarcasm is today's theme.

At any rate, here's linkage:

Messenger home page | image gallery | news center
NASA's Messenger site
Astronomy Picture of the Day | Messenger and Mercury (1/16/08) - this has a bunch o' links in it
