COSMIC MESSAGE

Mercury's surface is heavily cratered, resembling many moons. However, it is much denser and more massive than any moon, made mostly of iron. Only Earth is more dense. Mercury rotates exactly three times every two orbits around the Sun, leading to unique visual effects for a surface visitor.
