The sky on
your birthday.
Southwest Mercury
Mercury, the innermost planet, has a heavily cratered surface, much like Earth's Moon. It is larger than most moons, but smaller than Jupiter's Ganymede or Saturn's Titan. Mercury is mostly iron, making it denser and more massive than any moon. Its unique rotation means a visitor would see strange sights as it orbits the Sun.
