	Mercury (planet) Summary
		Mercury's surface is very similar in appearance to that of the Moon, showing extensive mare-like plains and heavy cratering, indicating that it has been geologically inactive for billions of years.
		Mercury's orbit is inclined by 7° to the plane of Earth's orbit (the ecliptic), as shown in the diagram on the left.
		Mercury's precession showed the effects of mass dilation, providing a crucial observational confirmation of one of Einstein's theories—Mercury is slightly heavier at perihelion than it is at aphelion because it is moving faster, and so it slightly "overshoots" the perihelion position predicted by Newtonian gravity.

		Mercury ranges from –0.4 to 5.5 in apparent magnitude; Mercury is sufficiently "close" to the Sun that telescopes rarely examine it.
		Mercury was called Mercury when in the evening sky, but was known as Apollo—in honor of the Roman god of the Sun when it appeared in the morning.
		One theory suggests that Mercury originally had a metal-silicate ratio similar to common chondrite meteors and a mass approximately 2.25 times its current mass, but that early in the solar system's history Mercury was struck by a planetesimal of approximately 1/6 that mass.

		Mercury ranges from â’0.4 to 5.5 in apparent magnitude; Mercury is sufficiently "close" to the Sun that telescopes rarely examine it (the greatest elongation is 28.3Â°).
		Mercury's rotation is also remarkable in that it has an axial tilt of only 0.01 degrees, which is over 300 times smaller than Jupiter's axial tilt (the second smallest axial tilt of all planets at 3.1 degrees).
		In both of these cases, the angle Mercury strikes with the ecliptic is maximized, allowing it to rise several hours before the Sun in the former instance and not set until several hours after sundown in the latter in countries located at South Temperate Zone latitudes, such as Argentina and New Zealand.

		The atmosphere of Mercury is extremely thin; indeed, gas molecules in Mercury's atmosphere collide with the surface of the planet more frequently than they collide witheach other; for most purposes Mercury should be considered as being airless.

		Mercury is a popular setting for science fiction writers.
		A short story by Asimov, 'The Dying Night' (1956), is a murder mystery in which astronomers from Mercury, the Moon, and a fictitious space station are implicated in a murder.
		In Arthur C. Clarke's novel Rendezvous with Rama (1973), Mercury is ruled by a hot-tempered government of metal miners that tries to destroy the alien spacecraft Rama.

		The mean surface temperature of Mercury is 452 K, but it ranges from 90–700 K; by comparison, the temperature on Earth varies by only ~11 K (with respect only to solar radiation; not climate or season).
		Because of Mercury's 3:2 spin-orbit resonance, although a sidereal day (the period of rotation) lasts ~58.7 Earth days, a solar day (the length between two meridian transits of the Sun) lasts ~176 Earth days.
		This is because Mercury has zero axial tilt and esentially no atmosphere to carry heat from its sunlit portion, and it would thus always be dark at the bottom of even a shallow crater at the planet's pole.

		Unlike Venus, however, Mercury is brightest as seen from Earth when it is at a "gibbous" phase; that is to say, between half full and full (by contrast, Venus is brightest when it is between new and half full).
		This is because Mercury has negligible axial tilt and essentially no atmosphere to carry heat from its sunlit portion, and it would thus always be dark at the bottom of even a shallow crater at the planet's pole.

	Mercury (planet) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Recurring themes include the dangers of being exposed to solar radiation; the possibility of escaping excessive radiation by staying within the planet's slow-moving terminator (the boundary between day and night); and autocratic governments (perhaps because of an association of Mercury with hot-temperedness).
		In several of the novels and short stories of Kim Stanley Robinson, especially 'Mercurial' in The Planet on the Table (1986) and Blue Mars (1996), Mercury is the home of a vast city called Terminator.
		The city is ruled by an autocratic dictator called the Lion of Mercury.

		Instead, Mercury has a 3:2 orbital resonance, rotating three times for every two revolutions around the Sun; the eccentricity of Mercury's orbit makes this resonance stable.
		Because of Mercury's 3:2 orbital resonance, although a sidereal day (the period of rotation) lasts ~58.7 Earth days, a solar day (the length between two meridian transitss of the Sun) lasts ~176 Earth days.

		This is a region of flat-to-rolling plains, partitioned by several barren flat-topped mountain ranges.
		Lying S of the Nan Ling hills is the Xi Jiang Basin, predominantly a hilly area with infertile soils; the numerous streams of this region, however, are bordered by fertile, flat-floored alluvial valleys.
		The river is diked in its lower course, and its bed is elevated above the surrounding plain as a result of the accumulation of silt.

		Some songs may not be instantly familiar to American fans because of yet another irony: just as their U.S. fortunes waned during the punk and new wave era, the band was exploding into true international superstars.
		Both regal and raunchy, Queen was at the height of its powers in the mid-70s, riding the soaring vocals of Freddie Mercury, the ringing guitar crunch of Brian May and the band's shameless theatrical flourishes.
		Mercury, May, Deacon, and Taylor are in top form throughout, shrewdly building the show into what, given its relatively late recording date in their career, might as well be an emblematic greatest hits live (especially on its brisk-paced second disc) experience.

		Over US$130,000 has been donated since the drive began on 19 August.
		The slow precession of Mercury's orbit around the Sun could not be completely explained by Newtonian Classical Mechanics, and for some time it was thought that another planet (sometimes referred to as Vulcan) might be present in an orbit even closer to the Sun to account for this perturbation.
		(Nature, June 24, 2004) This is thought to explain Mercury's 3:2 spin-orbit resonance (rather than the more usual 1:1), since this state is more likely to arise during a period of high eccentricity.

		In contrast, most of the northern hemisphere consists of plains which are much younger, lower in elevation and have a much more complex history.
