Each of the planets has its own type, which is malefic or benefic. Waxing moon is benefic and Mercury is mutable. The elements are Fiery, Earthy and Airy. They have specific colours and are associated with a gem – as explained in the posts within Gemstones category. They rule over spec...
Mercury (planet)planetary atmospheresSaturnVenuswhistlers/ upstream whistlersmagnetosphere VenusEarthSaturnWhistler mode waves have been recorded in the upstream region of Mercury, Venus, Earth and Saturn. They are elliptically polarized and observed typically at frequencies between 0.1 to 4 Hz. These ...
The response of Mercury to the differential gravitational pull of the Sun, i.e., the solid-body tide, depends on the physical properties of the subsurface materials and can provide an additional constraint on the interior of the planet. The solid-body tide induces a periodic variation of the...
We also present the results of our own observations performed during three apparitions of the planet in 2000–2002. An analysis of the published data points to essentially more intensive maturation processes in the Hermean surface regolith compared to that on the lunar surface. In addition, the ...
It is possible that deposits of buried water ice and/or elemental sulfur are present in the polar regions of the planet. The results of the study of the structure, physical properties, and composition of Mercury's regolith can be used to single out fundamental features in the origin of ...

Planet formationAstrobiologyThe Solar System includes two planets --- Mercury and Mars --- significantly\nless massive than Earth, and all evidence indicates that planets of similar\nsize orbit many stars. In fact, one of the first exoplanets to be discovered is\na lunar-mass planet around a...

Color images collected by theMercury Dual Imaging System (MDIS) on MESSENGER have revealed diverse compositional provinces across the surface of the planet. The Mercury Atmospheric and Surface Composition Spectrometer (MASCS) enables a detailed characterization of these units by providing high-spectral-...
