-FUPPETS- LOVES MERCURY
On October the 6th, the spacecraft Messenger flew as close as 200 kilometers above the surface of the planet and beamed back more than 1,200 high-resolution and color images.
Many images are to be released today by NASA. The space-craft Messenger was launched in 2004, and it has a full 6 year journey to it's final destination, which is to achieve an orbit around Mercury.
