Download or read book Planet Mercury written by David A. Rothery and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-11-13 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Dynamic Planet written by Pamela Elizabeth Clark and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-12-04 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book views Mercury as a whole in the context of its environment. It illustrates what we know and what we need to know, and why understanding Mercury is so crucial to our understanding of solar system origin and current processes on Earth. The book describes our current state of knowledge for Mercury and interactions between interior, exterior, and space environment which are highly dynamic and thus critical to understanding Mercury as a system.
Download or read book Exploring Mercury written by Robert G. Strom and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2003-07-15 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Strom: Mercury How did Mercury get such an enormous iron core? Why is its tectonic framework so different from any other planet or satellite? What is its crystal composition? Why is the crust so depleted in iron when the interior is so rich in that element? What are the polar deposits? Where do the elements in the exosphere come from? Mercury is a planet shrouded in mystery. Only 45 percent of its surface has been seen in any detail, and that was from the Mariner 10 flyby in 1974. Yet what is known only makes the planet more fascinating. New Earth-based observations have shed light on surface and exosphere compositions, and re-evaluations of the Mariner 10 data, using modern image processing techniques, show evidence for volcanic flow fronts, pyroclastics and other volcanic phenomena not seen before. This ground-breaking book not only chronicles what has been discovered, but looks ahead to what has yet to emerge. An accompanying CD contains all the best Mariner 10 images, including the data for each image, photomosaics and maps.

Thus far, it is the only book on Mercury which balances a wide range of Earth-based observations, made under difficult conditions, with the only available space-based data. The text is based on continued research using the Mariner 10 archive, on observations from Earth, and on increasingly realistic models of this mysterious planet’s interior evolution.
Download or read book Mercury written by Carlo P. Croce and published by The Rosen Publishing Group, Inc. This book was released on 2008-01-15 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun. Because of this, scientists are not able to point telescopes toward it, making Mercury particularly difficult to study. However, new missions to Mercury are planned over the next seven years, which are expected to reveal information about the planets geology, density, core, composition, and magnetic field. This book provides descriptions of these future missions as well as the most current information available today. This revision of Mercury includes the most up-to-date information on and about the planet. References no longer refer to Pluto as a planet. Also includes timeline and updated back matter.
