From Mercury, Earth and Moon normally appear as if they were two very bright stars. During a lunar eclipse on October 8, 2014, Moon seems to disappear during its passage through Earth's shadow. You can see Earth and Moon from Mercury in this new image by Messenger

NASA's MESSENGER made first photos of water ice on Mercury. It's in the Kandinsky, Prokofiev and Berlioz craters.

New images:


Mercury



Located near Mercury's north pole, inside this unnamed crater there are locations that are in permanent darkness. Mercury's axial tilt is nearly zero, so the tall crater walls cast shadows that the Sun never pierces. There is evidence that this crater contains ice within its permanently shadowed interior.

Wow eternal darkness!!!!


Mars



Spring in Inca City. Looks amazing.


Let's come back to Saturn



Brand new image of Saturn's surface

Some info about Earth:

The speed of the Earth’s orbit around the Sun is 108000 km/h, which means that our planet travels 940 million km during a single orbit.
