It snapped jaw-dropping images of shadowed craters like Prokofiev and volcanic plains, hinting at icy secrets despite Mercury’s blazing proximity to the Sun. As BepiColombo gears up for orbit in late 2026, scientists are buzzing with excitement to decode Mercury’s frosty mysteries and fiery past. Stay tuned for more cosmic revelations!
