	Mercury
		Mercury was named by the Romans after the fleet-footed messenger of the gods because it seemed to move more quickly than any other planet.
		Although Mercury is not tidally locked to the Sun, its rotational period is tidally coupled to its orbital period.

	Mercury
		Mercury is the only body in the solar system known to have an orbital/rotational resonance with a ratio other than 1:1 (though many have no resonances at all).
		Mercury's interior is dominated by a large iron core whose radius is 1800 to 1900 km.
		Mercury is often visible with binoculars or even the unaided eye, but it is always very near the Sun and difficult to see in the twilight sky.

		Mercury-Redstone 3 (Freedom 7) was a U.S. Mercury program manned space mission launched on May 5, 1961 using a Redstone rocket, from Launch Complex 5 at Cape Canaveral, Florida.
		The Mercury capsule was named Freedom 7 and performed a suborbital flight, piloted by astronaut Alan Shepard, the first American person in space.
		In all subsequent Mercury flights, the number 7 was appended to the astronaut-chosen spacecraft/mission name and call sign, in honor of the fact that there were 7 original Mercury astronauts.

	Mercury : 3. What are the impacts of mercury on the environment?
		Another consequence is that older fish typically have higher mercury concentrations in their tissue than younger fish of the same species, partly because older fish eat more fish and larger fish as they age.
		Consequently, the extent of bioaccumulation and biomagnification of mercury in fish remain difficult to predict in specific situations.
		Mercury may be present in eggs and harm bird reproduction even when concentrations in eggs are low.

	1. Mercury morass
		Although cases of obvious mercury poisoning are rare, levels in rain and surface waters have risen over the decades, and coal-burning power plants are the largest single source of mercury in the air.
		Mercury has been used in patent medicine, thermometers, vaccines, paints, light switches, and is still used in fluorescent light bulbs.
		Indeed, mercury pollution is "extraordinarily widespread," says Charles Driscoll, a professor of civil and environmental engineering at Syracuse University, who studies mercury levels in the environment.

		We examined associations of maternal fish intake during pregnancy and maternal hair mercury at delivery with infant cognition among 135 mother-infant pairs in Project Viva, a prospective U.S. pregnancy and child cohort study.
		This association strengthened after adjustment for hair mercury level: For each additional weekly fish serving, offspring VRM score was 4.0 points higher [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.3 to 6.7].
		However, an increase of 1 ppm in mercury was associated with a decrement in VRM score of 7.5 (95% CI, -13.7 to -1.2) points.
