Two meteorites found in the Sahara in 2023 might be from Mercury, a study suggests, but doubts remain due to how little is ...

Watch the ESA/JAXA BepiColombo mission flyby the closest planet to the sun in this set of images captured. It was the 3rd ...

Scientists suspect two meteorites found in the Sahara in 2023 may have come from Mercury, marking a first in Space research.

One of BepiColombo's main tasks will be to investigate this interaction and the properties of Mercury's magnetic field. The spacecraft will build a dynamic dual-picture of the space environment ...

Now BepiColombo is heading back into the solar system before aiming to arrive in orbit around Mercury in November 2026. Then the spacecraft’s main camera will be unshielded and it will take ...

BepiColombo made its first Earth and Venus flybys in 2020, and first swung past Mercury on Oct. 1, 2021. After one flyby in 2022 and 2023 each, the probe then made close approaches to Mercury on ...

BepiColombo, a joint mission by the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), made its closest approach to Mercury on Monday June 19 at 3:34 p.m. ET.The ...

Mercury also contains an expansive volcanic plain known as Borealis Planitia, which BepiColombo spied on its flyby. Researchers think these plains were formed from vast lava flows more than 3 ...

The ESA and JAXA's BepiColombo has completed another flyby of Mercury, capturing new images of the shrinking planet.
