Mercury - Some Further Reading

Those who attended our lecture last night might be interested in a bit of further reading on the subject of Mercury. Our superb guest speaker, David Rothery, has sent through a few links that might be of interest to members. They are as follows:

There is more about Mercury in this set of videos http://www.open.edu/openlearn/discovermercury
The pics can be seen at http://messenger.jhuapl.edu/ (go to Gallery)

During his talk, David also made mention of one of his books entitled, "Planet Mercury: From Pale Pink Dot to Dynamic World", which describes Mercury’s landscapes from a geological perspective:

Lastly, not related to Mercury but also relevant is a free online course that David has created and runs on the subject of Moons. I think that this may have been mentioned on our forums in a previous post so apologies for repeating it but it is such a fantastic course, that I couldn't resist posting it again here. I sat this course in 2014 and learnt a great deal. It has since been updated to include recent discoveries so you'll be educated on the latest findings. The course begins again on 31st October but you are able to register for it now and get notified closer the time. Here's a link:
