Mercury of the Day:

First Image Of The Day

You’re looking at the pure space porn that is the MESSENGER spacecraft’s first image from the very first ever orbit of Mercury. Huminah, huminah, isn’t it a beaut!

Captured this morning at 5:20am EDT, MESSENGER continued to send a series of 363 images over the next six hours. So, good news space nerds, we’ll never be short of new computer wallpapers!
