And finally, you can find another shot of Mercury just released (called their Featured Release) of Mercury's previously unseen side here:
MESSENGER: MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging
It was taken at about 17,000 miles, 80 minutes after closest approach. Very encouraging so far, but I'm still eager to see the close-ups at closest approach. At least I'm starting to hear more about the Messenger mission in other forums and miscellaneous sites.
