The First Real Images Of Mercury - What We Found?

In this video, we'll be discussing the first real images of Mercury, what we found and what implications it has.

Ever since the Mariner 10 probe flew by Mercury in 1974, we've been looking at the planet's surface. But until now, we've only had a few blurry images. This new set of pictures, taken by the MESSENGER probe, is the first real images of Mercury's surface.

We'll be discussing the implications of these new images, and what they could mean for the future of space exploration. Tune in to find out what we found!

So the years are shorter but the days are longer. That's very fascinating!

Nice video with a lot of information I didn't know about Mercury.
Also appreciate the use of both Traditional and Metric units for us non-STEM Americans who don't use SI all the time.

What a fascinating and well presented video, straight into facts and figures without any preamble. Thoroughly enjoyed listening to your voice explaining it in such an easy way to understand. Great visuals too. Thanks for sharing 😊

I really find your voice soothing. I clicked on the video because I do want to know but this narrative is out of this world. I am a subscriber now. Thank you very much, Sir.

Shout out to the camera man for being so brave

What a superb and pleasant narrator voice. The video is very didactic and easy to understand for non scientists like me. Just fascinating. Thank you!

Extremely well produced video!! Thanks!

At about 1:37, you said, "One day on Earth would be 59 days on Mercury." I think you meant to say, "One day on Mercury is 59 Earth days long.", right?

Growing up in the early 70's and 80's I always thought that we would discover more interesting things about the planets we first saw as Boring and uninteresting. And this video and others like it have vindicated those thoughts. I wish my teachers were alive to see these. Thank you for posting!

It's interesting how little we've known about Mercury because of its position in the Solar system. I've learned alot from this video. Thanks 👍

Thank you so very much. I really love the way that you present the science and break it down into manageable and understandable concepts. I love astronomy wanted to be an astronaut when I was younger, but yeah having an air problem so can’t do that and your voice is so relaxing. Thank you so much for taking the time to research this and share it with the rest of us. Big hugs and have an awesome day.

Thanks for using the word "may" and "probably" in your explanations. I appreciate you reminding us that we didn't see what happened so we are making hypotheses that could explain what happened.

As a rock hound being in that dust ring collecting would be the highlight of my life! Goodness what things could be found!

[Jizzlewobbwtfcus]

OK! I am VERY wary about science based channels when it comes to the subject of outer space bodies because soo many are either monotonous or have a REALLY bad narrator. I think a good narrator is what can sell a doc. So in saying that I must say that this channel is SUPERB! Only 2minutes in I was mesmerized!
You got a new subber : ]

Excellent production and narration. Very informative, thanks!

Mercury is basically a big ball of iron with a thin veneer of rock.
The remnants of what was once a much larger planet, until a huge impact took most of the crust away.
An absolutely fantastically presented documentary....

The southern accent takes me back to science class in rural SC and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

[kerrykrishna]

The pictures of the actual Scientists are the coolest thing about this Vid!. I am subscribing! GREAT job!

[wasabista]

Excellent information, clearly and engagingly presented. And none of the cringy jokes that mar so many other science and history videos. Well done.👍

Thank you for a really good video on this smallest planet. I've been fascinated by it but there has been so little information on it in the public's eye!
