Mercury: A Cratered Inferno

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

Mercury, the closest planet to the Sun, has a surface that looks a lot like our Moon's, covered in craters. Its diameter is about 4,800 kilometers, a bit larger than the Moon's. Surface temperatures swing wildly, from -180 degrees Celsius to 400 degrees Celsius, as it slowly rotates. This image captures its stark, rocky terrain.
