The sky on
your birthday.
Southwest Mercury
Mercury, the innermost planet, has a heavily cratered surface, much like our Moon. It is larger than most moons, but smaller than Jupiter's Ganymede or Saturn's Titan. Mercury is composed mostly of iron, making it much denser than any moon, with only Earth being more dense among the planets.
