Study published in Geophysical Research Letters
New research suggests impact debris may have hidden the full extent of Mercury's contraction, implying the planet may be shrinking more than previously estimated.
New research in Geophysical Research Letters indicates Mercury has contracted more than previously estimated because impact debris obscures tectonic shortening features. Cliffs up to 1 mile high and hundreds of miles long record the planet's cooling, with implications for rocky body evolution and BepiColombo orbital science.
Mercury is linked from 1 story on this site, each scored at or above our 35% relevance threshold — see how these pages are built.
