Frozen Water and Organic Material Discovered on Mercury!
"For the first time, scientists have confirmed that the planet Mercury
holds at least 100 billion tons of water ice as well as organic material in permanently shadowed craters at its north pole. The findings come from NASA’s MESSENGER spacecraft, which has been in orbit around the solar system’s smallest and innermost planet since 2011. Researchers have suspected that ice could exist in such craters since 1992, when Earth-based radar measurements found bright areas at the planet’s polar regions. Craters in this area cast long shadows, which prevent any sunlight from reaching their floors. Though alternative explanations had been put forward to account for the radar-bright areas, MESSENGER has provided convincing evidence for water ice on the planet closest to our sun, where surface temperatures can sometimes reach 800 degrees Fahrenheit. The results appeared in three studies Nov. 29 in Science. MESSENGER was able to detect water ice because it carries a neutron spectrometer that looks at energetic neutrons bouncing off Mercury’s surface. Water gives off a characteristic neutron signature. The spacecraft measured the area around Mercury’s north pole and found this characteristic signature, suggesting that between 100 billion and 1 trillion tons of water ice was present somewhere in the area. But the neutron spectrometer has fairly low resolution, on the order of hundreds of miles, so it can’t definitively say if this water is inside the craters. (If it were outside, daytime temperatures would have boiled the water away.)" http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/20...anics-mercury/ Tons of water ice? Organic material? Life! Double-A |

Still I don't trust Mafia NASA any further than I can throw one of those $25,000,000 toilets. How come NASA does not mention that Mercury has no atmosphere. and its surface temp. is 800F. I know why.

Double-A Why of course, the crust of Mercury is so gosh darn insulative that not even any of its core geothermal heat escapes, nor any secondary/ recoil energy ever gets anywhere near those polar craters. Mercury probably has too much atmosphere protecting those ice filled craters. Must be something wrong with our planet, and even a whole lot worse with Venus. |

If it's there at all, it's covered up by tens of meters worth of dust and shards. The average reflective albedo of that physically dark moon, of which the Apollo era pegged for us as perfectly inert and hardly the least bit dusty as well as nothing much radioactive or otherwise nasty to fret, is actually just a wee bit over 7% reflective (that's roughly at best an eight as good as yellow snow).

In other words, as per usual, they're just yanking our chains and toying with us, so that they can continue doing as they please. |

Double-A Well after reading that site its atmosphere is close to zero. I relate Mercury to our moon. All those craters. Solar wind bad for life No blocking Sun's harmful rays Bad for life Mecury obits once in 59 Earth days bad for life It has no seasons bad for life Smallest planet bad for life. I could go on,but only Mafia NASA can find running water needed for life. My photon pin wheel would work well on Mercury. TreBert |
