	Mercury (planet) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mercury ranges from −0.4 to 5.5 in apparent magnitude, and its greatest angular separation from the Sun (greatest elongation) is only 28.3°, meaning it is only ever seen in twilight.
		Mercury's composition is approximately 70% metallic and 30% silicate.
		Mercury's axial tilt is only 0.01 degrees, which is over 300 times smaller than that of Jupiter, which is the second smallest axial tilt of all planets at 3.1 degrees.

	Mercury (planet) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
		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.
		The atoms that compose Mercury's atmosphere are continually being lost to space, with the average "lifespan" of a potassium or sodium atom being approximately ~3 hours (during the Mercurian day—and only half that at perihelion).

	Mercury (planet)
		Mercury ranges from −0.4 to 5.5 in apparent magnitude; Mercury is sufficiently "close" to the Sun that telescopes rarely examine it (the greatest elongation is 28.3°).
		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 about 11 K (with respect only to solar radiation; not climate or season).
		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.

	Luminaire having a reflector containing asymmetrical ridges for distributing light output asymmetrically - Patent ...
		The individual ridges that are located in predetermined sectors of the inner surface each have one of its two facets disposed at a much smaller angle with respect to its reference line than the other of the two facets so that this ridge is highly bilaterally asymmetrical with respect to said reference line.
		It will be apparent from the table that for the ridges located in certain sectors of the reflector, the angle E is much greater than the angle F. This is the case, as indicated in the table, in those sectors extending for 70 degrees on either sides of the transverse reference plane 65.
		Because of this bilaterally asymmetrical configuration of the individual ridges, the light reflected from the ridges 122 through the bottom opening of the reflector has a photometric distribution which is asymmetrical with respect to the central axis of the reflector.

	Mercury (planet)
		A crater at the North pole or South pole of Mercury may be one of the best off-Earth locations for a colony as the temperature is a constant minus 200 degrees c or there abouts.
		This is because Mercury has zero axial tilt and esentially no atmosphere to carry heat from the sunlit portion of Mercury.
		The large iron core of Mercury will protect the colonists from a nearby super nova in almost half of the possible directions.

		Mercury ranges from -0.4 to 5.5 in apparent magnitude; Mercury is sufficiently "close" to the Sun that telescopes rarely examine it.
		Mercury starts out with approximately twice its current mass in this theory; but, as the protostar contracted, temperatures near Mercury could have been between 2500-3500K; and possibly even as high as 10000K.
		A mission to Mercury has been approved by NASA, named MESSENGER (MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging), which is planned to launch in June 2004 and reach Mercury in March 2011.

	Mercury News \| 03/05/2004 \| Sea ice wrecks Arctic station
		Russia's first effort since the breakup of the Soviet Union to maintain a year-round presence on the sea ice near the North Pole was cut short Thursday after wind-driven ice floes rose into three-story ridges, destroying most of a drifting research camp, Russian scientists and officials said.
		The dozen oceanographers, engineers, meteorologists and other staff members who have lived at the camp since April were not in immediate danger, government officials told Russian news services, but government agencies and Arctic experts scrambled to organize helicopter flights to retrieve them.
		Ice ridges and cracks are commonplace in a region where knitted floes typically drift hundreds of yards an hour and constantly collide like tight-packed bumper cars.

		He had been led to notice, for many years, that patients who were treated with the ordinary remedies--bleeding, mercury, and antimony--presented certain complications which always aggravated the malady, and rendered convalescence more lingering and recovery less complete.
		After this the disease assumed many complications, as well it might, for which a promiscuous medley of medicaments were prescribed for two years longer, among which was hellebore, irritating plasters, several kinds of pills, and a variety of homeopathic pellets and placebos.
		The mercury induced chronic inflammation of the duodenum--mercurial duodenitis --for which antimony and opium were administered.
