Mercury has all those craters. Does anyone know what the temperature
might be of a crater that's in the shade.? Bert


Well, the craters near the poles contain something shiny, which is
suspected to be ice. There are places in those craters where the sun
never shines. NASA has just announced a probe will be sent in 2012 to
take a more extensive survey of Mercury and examine more closely those
polar craters, which seemingly contain ice. The discovery of ice on
the Moon makes it more likely.
