Goodies from Mercury tomorrow

[mmcirvin]

So, the first image from the MESSENGER flyby proper should arrive tomorrow morning: there was a bit of a delay because a problem with the Ulysses solar-polar observing spacecraft bumped MESSENGER off the big dish they were going to use. I hope it's nothing serious; Ulysses has been around for a while but it would be a pity to lose it now, just as the switchover to a new solar cycle happens.
