Craters seen on mercury smallest planet of our solar system nasa shared the picture

The American space agency ‘NASA’ (NASA) makes us aware of the unseen pictures of the universe. A shocking picture of Mercury planet has been shared on NASA’s Instagram handle. The planet Mercury is special in many ways. It is the smallest planet in our solar system. The Sun is closer to the Sun. Despite this, it is not the hottest planet. In the picture that NASA has shared by the planet Mercury, it is seen in many shades of brown and blue. Many pits are also seen on the surface of the planet Mercury.

NASA shared the picture of the planet Mercury and wrote, Mercury can be the smallest planet in our solar system as well as the fastest. It travels in its class at a speed of about 47 km per second. It takes only 88 Earth Day to do a orbit of the Sun.

This picture of the planet Mercury has been captured by a spacraft named Messenger. This was the first spacraft to revolve around the planet Mercury. Messenger prepared many color maps by Mercury, so that its chemical, minerals and physical merits could be differentiated. This picture of NASA has got more than 12 lakhs likes.

Significantly, space agencies around the world are exploiting the planets of our solar system. NASA is at the forefront of them. The US space agency has sent its spacecrafts on almost every planet. More focus is on Mars and Moon. Due to the closeness of the Sun of Mercury, space agencies are sending less missions to that area.

Their goal is to focus on planets where the possibilities of life can be detected and Mercury planet is a weak candidate in this case.
