  • Mercuryby Andre Balogh; Leonid Ksanfomality; Rudolf von Steiger

    Springer 2008; US$ 179.00

In appearance, it resembles the heavily cratered surface of the Moon, but its density is high, it has a magnetic field and magnetosphere, but no atmosphere or ionosphere. This book reviews the progress made in Mercury studies since the flybys by Mariner 10 in 1974-75, based on the continued research using the Mariner 10 archive, on observations from Earth, and on increasingly realistic models of its interior evolution. more...
