The data sent by the Messenger probe which passed Mercury on Monday has started to arrive at Earth. The pictures revealed some parts of the surface that were earlier missed by the Mariner 10 spacecraft (in the 70s). The probe went as close as 200 km to Mercury. It is expected to get into orbit in another 3 years time.
