Moore on Mercury, Authors: Moore, Patrick Mercury has been the target of professional astronomers through the ages, and then of space probes, the most recent of which MESSENGER (MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry and Ranging) will go into orbit around Mercury in 2011. Amateur astronomers can see Mercury and its ever-changing phases all year, and sometimes watch it transit the Sun. In his inimitable, easy-going style, Patrick Moore describes Mercury, the professional astronomers who have observed it over the centuries, amateur observations, and the past, present and future space missions to this extraordinary world.
