Live erleben: BepiColombo beginnt die Anflugphase am Merkur

What questions are we addressing?

We want to uncover the secrets of the closest planet to the Sun:

Investigate Mercury's origins: Where did Mercury form?

Examine the presence of water on the planet: Is there really water on Mercury?

Compare historical with current activity: Is Mercury dead or alive?

Understand the magnetic activity: Why does Mercury have a magnetic field?

Explain the planet's brightness: Why is Mercury so dark?

Ist echt spannend, wie wenig wir über Merkur wissen, obwohl wir technologisch schon so weit fortgeschritten sind.
