BepiColombo's Mercury Flyby Reveals Stunning Landscape Images.

The BepiColombo mission has completed its third flyby of Mercury, capturing images of geological features including the newly named Manley Crater. The spacecraft is gradually adjusting its trajectory for entering Mercury’s orbit in 2025. The mission’s main science phase will begin in early 2026 following several more adjustments and another flyby in 2024. The flyby images show a bounty of geological features, including a newly named crater, and one of the most spectacular geological thrust systems on the planet.
