Aurora could be present throughout the solar system, say scientists studying the magnetic environment around Mercury during a brief spacecraft flyby.

Data from BepiColombo's first flyby of Mercury is showing how high-energy auroras glow within the planet's thin atmosphere.

On October 1, 2021, a pair of small spacecraft got their first good look at the closest planet to the Sun, revealing the strange process through which Mercury produces its own auroras.

The BepiColombo mission recently captured stunning new images of Mercury during a close flyby, which resulted in the naming of an impact crater after a pioneering Jamaican artist.

Paris (ESA) Jun 15, 2023 - The ESA/JAXA BepiColombo mission is gearing up for its next close flyby of Mercury on 19 June, when it will pass the planets surface at an altitude of about 236 km. This is the third of six gravity
