Mercury Fly-By Today

Paul Floyd reports:
At 6.04am Australian Eastern Summer Time Tuesday morning (15/1/2008), NASA's MESSENGER spacecraft will become the first in 32 years to fly past the planet Mercury. It will photograph parts of Mercury at high resolution for the first time.

Check the MESSENGER spacecraft site and NASA's site in the hours after the flyby for never before seen images.
