Stunning New Images of Mercury's North Pole Captured by BepiColombo Spacecraft

Credited from: CBSNEWS

  • A spacecraft has transmitted remarkable close-up images of Mercury's north pole. The European and Japanese robotic explorer flew as low as 183 miles above the planet's night side.
  • The European Space Agency (ESA) shared these breathtaking photos on Thursday, highlighting the permanently shadowed craters at the planet's polar region.
  • The mission involved flying over the "terminator," which is the boundary between day and night, allowing the spacecraft to view craters that are always in shadow.
  • Evidence suggests these craters may contain frozen water, prompting future investigations once the spacecraft enters orbit around Mercury.
  • This was the sixth and final close flyby for the BepiColombo spacecraft, paving the way for its orbital mission around Mercury scheduled for late next year.
