It took NASA's spacecraft, MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, Geochemistry and Ranging, AKA MESSENGER, six and a half years and some clever maneuvering - But on Thursday March 17th, the unmanned spacecraft made history by successfully entering the 12 hour elliptical orbit of our solar system's innermost planet, Mercury.

                      the messenger has to face the next challenge- being closer to the sun. the distance to murcurybis a mere 96.35 million miles. murcurys tempeture can get as high as 45 celciud (180 fahrenhiet)and back to space.
