The images of Mercury were obtained almost three years after the unmanned mission vessel was launched aboard an Ariane 5 Rocket.
The European-Japanese BepiColombo spacecraft has sent back its first images of Mercury, the nearest planet to the Sun, the European Space Agency said Saturday. We might have been late with the first image, but we're early with the follow-up 😉 Here are a few more incredible first impressions from our first #MercuryFlyby - plus annotations to guide the eye!https://t.co/8RpPeJVBDM#ExploreFartherpic.twitter.com/KkF2wF2vVp
The images were obtained almost three years after the unmanned mission vessel was launched aboard an Ariane 5 Rocket.
The cameras attached the BepiColombo provided black-and-white images, the ESA said in a statement.
