NASA's Messenger probe has already sent back 20,000 high resolution images, sending light into previous assumptions about our Solar System's first planet.
"We had many ideas about Mercury that were incomplete, ill-formed," said Messenger principal investigator Sean Solomon of the Carnegie Institution of Washington. "Many of those ideas are now having to be cast aside as we see orbital data for the first time."
