Rothery1st ed. 2015.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Springer,2015.1 online resource (191 p.)Springer Praxis BooksIncludes index.3-319-12116-2 A Pale Pink Dot -- Mariner 10 -- High time for another mission? -- The surface as seen by MESSENGER -- Magnetosphere and exosphere as seen by MESSENGER -- More questions than answers? -- Appendix.A new and detailed picture of Mercury is emerging thanks to NASA’s MESSENGER mission that spent four years in orbit about the Sun’s innermost planet. Comprehensively illustrated by close-up images and other data, the author describes Mercury’s landscapes from a geological perspective: from sublimation hollows, to volcanic vents, to lava plains, to giant thrust faults. He considers what its giant core, internal structure and weird composition have to tell us about the formation and evolution of a planet so close to the Sun. This is of special significance in view of the discovery of so many exoplanets in similarly close orbits about their stars. Mercury generates its own magnetic field, like the Earth (but unlike Venus, Mars and the Moon), and the interplay between Mercury’s and the Sun’s magnetic field affects many processes on its surface and in the rich and diverse exosphere of neutral and charged particles surrounding the planet. There is much about Mercury that we still don’t understand. Accessible to the amateur, but also a handy state-of-the-art digest for students and researchers, the book shows how our knowledge of Mercury developed over the past century of ground-based, fly-by and orbital observations, and looks ahead at the mysteries remaining for future missions to explore.Springer Praxis BooksAstronomyObservationsAstronomy—ObservationsPlanetary scienceSpace sciencesAstronomy, Observations and Techniqueshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22014Planetologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G18010Space Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics)https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22030AstronomyAstronomy—Observations.Planetary science.Space sciences.Astronomy, Observations and Techniques.Planetology.Space Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics).500.5520523.4530Rothery David Aauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1040900BOOK9910299443003321Planet Mercury2535236UNINA
