Feb 22, 2013. This colorful view of Mercury was produced by using images from the color base map imaging campaign during MESSENGER's primary mission. These colors are not what Mercury would look like to the human eye, but rather the colors enhance the chemical, mineralogical, and physical differences between the rocks that make up Mercury's ...
What is Mercury's true color? These four images were all created using data captured by the MESSENGER spacecraft in 2008. The top-left image was created using a black-and-white filter. The remaining three images were made using red, green, and blue filters capturing light in the range of wavelengths the human eye can see.
This mosaic of oblique images highlights the spectacular interior of Abedin crater. Four colorful angles of Mercury using data from two MESSENGER instruments. This enhanced color mosaic shows (from left to right) Munch (61 km/38 mi.), Sander (52 km/32 mi.), and Poe (81...
By combining images taken through different filters in the visible and infrared, the MESSENGER data allow Mercury to be seen in a variety of high-resolution color views not previously possible.
The BepiColombo Mercury probe made a flyby of its ultimate destination on Wednesday, capturing superb images of the planet's crater-covered crust.

BepiColombo, a European-Japanese spacecraft, flew past Mercury for the first time Friday. The probe beamed back beautifully clear images of the planet's cratered, moon-like surface.
Colors of Mercury. Image Credit: NASA JHU Applied Physics Lab Carnegie Inst. Washington. Explanation: The colors of the solar system's innermost planet are enhanced in this tantalizing view, based on global image data from the Mercury-orbiting MESSENGER spacecraft.
This is one of the highest resolution images of Mercury acquired by Mariner 10: Frame 528922, ~90 m/pixel. The vertical (tall narrow) format of the third encounter images resulted from problems with the tape recorder and transmitter on the spacecraft.
The European Space Agency (ESA) has released a new set of photos captured by the BepiColombo probe that showcases some very clear images of Mercury as well as “tectonic and volcanic curiosities.”
