MESSENGER just revealed Mercury’s impossible ice

MESSENGER's discoveries show Mercury isn't just a scorched rock. In 2011, it became the first spacecraft to orbit the planet. Surprisingly, MESSENGER found water ice at Mercury's poles despite its extreme heat. This finding, along with the unexpectedly strong magnetic field and ancient volcanic activity, challenges our understanding of rocky planets. The mission also uncovered massive cliffs created by crustal shrinking, reshaping our views on planetary formation. Mercury may seem simple, but MESSENGER’s findings reveal complexities that can change how we perceive our universe. Follow Deep Sky Daily for a new space discovery every day.
