BepiColombo time lapse shows Mercury's surface in unparalleled detail 🌑The European Space Agency have released a time lapse of all the images from BepiColombo's recent Mercury flyby, its last before it starts orbiting the solar system’s innermost world in late 2026.
Since launching in 2018, the joint European-Japanese BepiColombo spacecraft has flown by Mercury six times, using each successive approach to reduce its speed and adjust its flight path to make it easier to get into orbit. While the mission’s main scientific instruments haven’t yet been put to use, the spacecraft’s monitoring cameras have given us some of the clearest views we’ve ever had of the Swift Planet.
