Robert Strom, LPL, will discuss: “Mercury and the MESSENGER Mission: Preliminary Results from the First Flyby.”
Mercury is the smallest planet but has the largest iron core with respect to its size of any planet in the solar system. The origin of that large core depends on concepts of the origin and early evolution of the terrestrial planets.
This lecture describes the MESSENGER mission's preliminary results for the unseen side from the first flyby in 31 years.
Doors open at 7 p.m.
