Exploring Mercury's Moon

Mercury, the closest planet to the Sun, is a rocky planet. The heavily cratered planet suggests that meteors or comets were frequent many, many years ago. Mercury's boulder littered surface and pale gray appearance slightly resembles Earth's moon. Like Mars, Mercury is covered in pulverized dust. What Mercury lacks in this, is weather. Muggle probes bring images to us that show no signs of wind, dust storms, or clouds. No rivers have been found on Mercury. Lack of clouds and rivers, (and oceans) suggests that there is no water on the closest planet to the Sun, Mercury. One of Mercury's most famous craters is Caloris basin, which is 1550 km in diameter. Another of Mercury's most famous craters is called Rachmaninoff. Rachmaninoff is 306 km in diameter. These two very large craters were created by astroids impacting the planet in Mercury's early history.

On the evening of June 17th, 2015, a twenty one year old white man identified as Dylann Roof opened fire, killing nine African-Americans attending a Bible study at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, South Carolina. As friends and family members mourn for their tragic losses, people blame this attack on the ‘insane’ individual, however failing to recognize that this wholly racist crime is the product of self destructive America. The motivation sparking this vicious felony is alike for all man-made decisions; a product of induced fear.

Mercury's surface is very rocky and covered in boulders and pulverized dust. The surface is also filled with craters. The planet is a grey color. It is the smallest planet but very dense. The surface of Mercury is very similar to the surface of the moon, but Mercury has more smooth plains. On Mercury you will not find any clouds, dust storms, rivers or any other sign of weather. The planets magnetic field keeps any winds away from it. Mercury has a mainly iron rich core. The planet will always be facing the sun on one side, lighting up half of its surface. The side facing the sun is very hot, while the side not facing the sun gets very cold. There is absolutely no sign of anything living on Mercury, and there has not been any for a long time.

The name of our planet in Roman Mythology is the Roman god of commerce, travel, and thievery. Mercury is the closest planet to the sun, it rotates around the sun faster than any other planet in our solar system. It takes 1407.5 hours for it to rotate on its axis. Mercury is the smallest and innermost planet in our solar system. The radius of Mercury is 1,516 mi. Mercury’s mass is 3.285 times 10^23 kg. Mercury takes 88 days to rotate the sun completely. Mercury’s distance from the sun is 35.98 million mi. Mercury’s equatorial rotation velocity is 10.892 km/h (3.026 m/s). Since Mercury is closest to the sun the surface temperatures can be scorching hot and it can reach 840 degrees Fahrenheit (450 degrees Celsius). Mercury also doesn’t have a real atmosphere to entrap all that heat.

Mercury is the smallest planet and is closest to the sun. It's a small, rocky planet that resembles the moon superficially. While the pockmarked surface and rugged terrain suggests a turbulent history, Mercury is no longer geologically active and has not been active for a long time. Mercury has a heavy iron-based core that is proportionally larger than that of any other planet, including Earth. Mercury has a much longer "day" than Earth. For every two Mercury-years, there are only three days. If earth rotated as slowly, each day would last about eight months. This really puts into perspective how slowly the small planet rotates. Despite its slow rotation, its magnetic field has become stronger and more dynamic since its first discovery. There has been a significant change in the geological instant of 35 years.

Characters in the Shakespearean tragedy Macbeth scarcely feel guilt - with two exceptions: Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. In this essay let's consider their guilt-problem.

It is believed that only 55% of Mercury has been mapped, however, that 55% has yielded a number of interesting finds, there are three significant geological features on Mercury, these are: smooth plains, intercrater plains and rugged highlands. The smooth plains resemble Lunar Maria, that is, large dark basaltic plains formed by ancient volcanic eruption, found on the Earth’s moon. The Intercrater Plains are impact craters, pocked with a number of smaller craters, which cover 70% of the examined surface. These craters are particularly deep, due to the planets lack of an atmosphere to slow the bodies before impact. The rugged highlands resemble mountainous regions of the Earth; however, there is no evidence of tectonic motions to have caused them. Mercury is made up of predominately iron, its crust is only 500-600km thick and there is evidence of volcanic activity, although it is believed that the planet has been geologically dormant for billions of years.

Mercury's surface geology is much like the Moon's. Although, Mercury is a much denser planet and has a much larger liquid iron core. Mercury's surface is also covered in lava plains and impact craters. Some of Mercury's craters are also filled with lava from Mercury's interior. Although only 55% percent of Mercury's surface has been mapped by scientists. Craters can be bowl shaped or huge impact craters. The largest crater on Mercury's surface is called the Caloris Basin. There have been about 15 identified impact craters on Mercury's surface. Similar to the Moon's surface, the largest craters have bright rays of material. The reason these are bright is because they have not been as weathered by other impacts. Mercury's poles have a large deposit of ice water on them. That is why Mercury's surface geology is unique.

Mercury- It is the closest planet to the sun; because it is so close observers are able to see Mercury either late in the evening or early in the morning. Mercury has no moons; it is one of the smallest planets in the Solar System and orbits the sun once every 88 days.

The planet Mercury, named after the Roman God of Thievery, has an incredible grey surface, littered with craters. Whilst it may lack an environment, pulverised dust roams across its massive stretches of grey fields, and rocky cavities form the land of mercury, resulting in a lack of any possibility of life, unfortunately. Images taken from powerful telescopes give the resemblance of this planet to Earth's own moon, through the grey colours and rocky formations. From Muggle Space Probes, we know that there have not been any signs of clouds, dust storms, or any form of a source of water, further connecting it to the moon. The Caloris Basin, the largest crater on the planet, stretches for 1,550 kilometres across Mercury's fields of grey;

The surface of Mercury bares a strong resemblance to that of Earth's moon. It is a rocky, crater-filled surface, comprised of dark "pulverized dust" and rocks ranging in size from pebbles to boulders. Due to these observations, it is concluded that Mercury is a geologically inactive planet and has been so for billions of years. The craters that litter the surface of Mars are considered to be "impact craters," caused by the impact of a smaller celestial body with the surface of the planet. Common impact substances are meteors and other space debris. Due to the fact that Mercury has no atmosphere and its proximity to the Sun, the surface temperature of Mercury ranges from 100 degrees Kelvin and 700 degrees Kelvin making the planet's surface virtually uninhabitable.

Vaccinations should be mandatory for all children within the State of California as this will reduce the death rate associated with preventable communicably infectious diseases. Routine vaccinations during early developments have been historical proven to reduce the onset and spread of potentially infectious microbial agents. According to the Center of Disease Control and Prevention, “Vaccines have reduced some preventable infectious diseases to an all-time low, and now few people experience the devastating effects of measles, pertussis, and other illnesses (Prevention).

One of these terrestrial planets, Mercury is the topic of the next section. Mercury, one of the smallest planets, has a surface similar to that of a moon because it is cratered with some smoother areas. However, it is distinct from the moon in that the plains are the same color as the cratered areas. Mercury

Mercury, named after the Roman God of Thievery, Commerce, and Travel, is the first planet from the Sun. It is unique because it shows at both morning rise and evening set of the sun. It is rocky, heavily cratered, covered in boulders, and also pulverized dust. The majority of it's surface bears a strong resemblance to that of Earth's moon. It's lack of atmosphere causes wild temperature fluctuations. Temperatures can range from 90 kelvin to 700 kelvin thus creating a planet, from all observations, that cannot sustain life--it is geologically dead. Mercury also has a magnetic field generated by the planet's core that can deflect solar wind and which has a magnetosphere that changes. This was surprising for such a slow rotating planet--one that rotates completely every 88 Earth days.
