Mercury: A Cratered Inferno

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

Mercury's surface, heavily cratered and rocky, resembles our Moon, though Mercury is slightly larger. It is the closest planet to the Sun, orbiting at about one-third of Earth's orbital radius. Due to its slow rotation, surface temperatures on Mercury swing wildly from -180 to 430 degrees Celsius.
