The BepiColombo spacecraft's recent fly-by of Mercury provided stunning images and highlighted humankind's relentless desire to understand the universe, focusing on the planet's mysterious aspects.
According to the European Space Agency, the recent fly-by of BepiColombo at less than 200 miles above Mercury's surface has completed a crucial "gravity assist manoeuvre" for future missions.
Mercury is unique in terms of its composition and environment; its massive metal core dominates the planet, reaching 800°F in sunlit areas, while shaded craters remain icy.
Recent advancements in space exploration, such as the close approaches to Mercury and planned missions to Mars, showcase a renewed focus on uncovering the mysteries of our solar system.
