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.


Don't you have that backwards? The reports of ice at the Moon's poles
have been questioned (see
http://www.universetoday.com/am/publish/no_ice_moon_south_pole.html,
for instance), while the Mercury results still seem quite strong.

Hi Double-A Find that very interesting Mercury shaded creators having
ice inside. I know Mercury has no atmosphere to hold heat,but the ground
would radiate enough heat to boil away water even in the shady areas(my
thinking). The Moon I'm sure has some ice in its creators up by its
North Pole.(read that) Bert

3. What do u feel about a chocolate bar called Mercury? - Curry flavoured
one end and RADOX BLUE on the other.


I don't know Buffy.
If you got Mercury poisoning, you couldn't really sue?

Apparently Mercury is so dense...it is believed to be 2/3 iron.
1. Is there any evidence to suggest that Mercury might not have started out
in its present location? (e.g. nature of orbit)
2. Now for the dumb question: Is there a link between Mercury and the
Asteroid belt?
