New Discoveries from Mercury to be Revealed Thursday
Shared by Josh Bancroft
Interesting that this probe gets an announced-long-in-advance press conference for whatever its news is, and the Mars Phoenix rover has been giving us its updates (like when it discovered ice) directly in almost real time, via Twitter. I wonder if the Mercury news will be bigger or smaller, accordingly?
NASA to Reveal New Discoveries from Mercury, NASA
NASA will host a media teleconference Thursday, July 3, at 2 p.m. EDT, to discuss analysis of data from the Mercury Surface, Space Environment, Geochemistry and Ranging (MESSENGER) spacecraft's flyby of Mercury earlier this year.
The spacecraft is the first designed to orbit the planet closest to the sun. It flew past Mercury on Jan. 14, 2008, and made the first up-close measurements since Mariner 10's final flyby in 1975.
