Original Note:
Mercury is not colorful, and this is not nearly the closest image. The artificial colors here represent surface altitude. This image is over a decade old, based on data from NASA's MESSENGER mission. Images from the current ESA/JAXA BepiColombo are taken from much closer. https://news.mit.edu/2012/mercury-close-up-view-0322 https://www.forbes.com/sites/jamiecartereurope/2022/06/27/in-photos-spacecraft-snaps-jaw-dropping-new-images-of-mercurys-craters-from-only-125-miles-away/?sh=212b032b65b5
