Yesterday @BepiColombo greeted Mercury from just 37628 km away, using @MERTISonBepi to take the first ever space-based pictures of the planet in mid-infrared wavelengths. We'll reveal what Bepi saw in the coming week! 👇 esa.int/ESA_Multimedia… - Mercury in motion... One of the #BepiColombo selfie-cameras captured Mercury today as the spacecraft rushed by the planet at almost 3 km per second. 🛰️💨 This time-lapse of unprocessed images was captured during 10:26-11:18 UTC today (11:26-12:18 CET), between 53700 and 48000 km
