Nasa’s Messenger
Messenger the spacecraft which is from Nasa’s Mercury will make a very close pass of Mercury. This will be the first space craft visit to the world in almost 33 years. This is yet the first of only three encounters which has been made with Mercury. The spacecraft Messenger will actually capture around 1,200 images. From these images the Nasa team will clearly be able to see the hemisphere with a much improved resolution. The images which will be received will be in different colours and filters and the reason for this will be so that the Nasa team get a clear idea of the composition of the surface.
