The Violent Past of Mercury: A Planetary Tale
Billions of years ago, during the chaotic formation of the Solar System, Mercury faced a catastrophic event that defined its existence. A massive planetoid, potentially as large as Mars, collided with Mercury at unimaginable speed. The result? Mercury’s outer envelope of crust and mantle was obliterated, leaving behind an exposed iron core that makes up nearly 85% of the planet’s volume today.

This rare planetary structure makes Mercury a fascinating subject for scientists studying planetary formation and collisions. Its dense core provides valuable insights into the processes that governed the Solar System’s early history.

In this video, we’ll take you through:

The chaotic early Solar System and the frequent collisions between celestial bodies.
The scientific theories behind Mercury’s exposed core and its significance in planetary science.
Modern discoveries from spacecraft like MESSENGER and BepiColombo that are unraveling Mercury's mysteries.

Why Mercury’s Collision Matters
Studying Mercury isn’t just about understanding one planet—it’s about piecing together the history of the entire Solar System. The data collected from Mercury helps us learn more about:

How planets form and evolve.
The role of cosmic collisions in shaping celestial bodies.
The nature of planetary cores and magnetic fields.
Recent missions like NASA's MESSENGER have provided high-resolution images and data, revealing Mercury’s surface composition, magnetic field, and even evidence of volatile compounds like water ice in its permanently shadowed craters. Upcoming missions like ESA’s BepiColombo aim to deepen our understanding even further.
