Riding with Robots writes "Today, more than three decades after the last spacecraft visited Mercury, MESSENGER buzzed just 200 kilometers above the planet's surface. During the encounter, the robotic spacecraft conducted a range of scientific observations, including imaging swaths of Mercury's surface that have never been seen up close before. A few of the first pictures are now available, with many more to come in the next few days." Link to Original Source
