The work answers the question of why Mercury is so dense, and the implications from geochemical data on its planetary formation. It summarizes imaging and compositional data from the terrestrial planet surface processes and explains the geologic history of Mercury. It also discusses the lack of southern hemisphere coverage. Our understanding of the planet Mercury has been in a transitional phase over the decades since Mariner 10. The influx of new data from the NASA MESSENGER Mission since it was inserted into the orbit of Mercury in March of 2011 has greatly accelerated that shift. The combined compositional data of relatively high volatiles (S, K), relatively low refractories (Al, Ca), and low crustal iron, combined with an active, partially molten iron rich core, has major implications for Mercury and Solar System formation. From a scientist at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, this presents a comprehensive overview of the discoveries from the ten-year MESSENGER mission. 000762688 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed March 11, 2015). 000762688 651_0 $$aMercury (Planet)$$xGeology. 000762688 651_0 $$aMercury (Planet)$$xSurface. 000762688 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9781493922437 000762688 830_0 $$aSpringerBriefs in astronomy. 000762688 852__ $$bebk 000762688 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-1-4939-2244-4$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000762688 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:762688$$pGLOBAL_SET 000762688 980__ $$aEBOOK 000762688 980__ $$aBIB 000762688 982__ $$aEbook 000762688 983__ $$aOnline 000762688 994__ $$a92$$bISE
