COSMIC MESSAGE
This time-lapse video shows the MESSENGER spacecraft leaving Earth eight years ago on its journey to Mercury. Earth rotates as it recedes into the distance, its sunlit half so bright that background stars are not visible. MESSENGER is now in orbit around Mercury and has completed the first full map of that planet.
