Messenger sending more pics from orbit around Mercury

[Baclava]

"It shows a 50-mile wide crater called Debussy in the planet's southern hemisphere, an area which has never before been observed closely - and which, it's believed, may contain water ice in areas of permanent shadow."


MESSENGER will take 17,000 more photographs throughout its mission, which is expected to last at least another year

1. No love for our little sister planet Mercury?

Earthings are so jaded.

2. If they had named it "Icarus" then people might notice

Messenger is to generic to be interesting




Daedalus would have worked too



But lets face it. Mercury just isn't that interesting. I see very little difference between it and our Moon, other than the location.



P.S. NBC Nightly News is airing the same pic as I type this.. funny
