Mercury may be the smallest planet in the solar system, but it’s one of the most extreme and mysterious worlds we know.

In this episode of The AIO Spark Show, we explore the bizarre physics of this scorching planet—from days that last longer than its years to the strange comet-like tail trailing behind it in space.

Discover how a violent cosmic collision may have stripped Mercury down to a giant iron core, why ancient water ice can survive in permanently shadowed craters despite surface temperatures near 800°F, and how the planet helped provide the first observational proof of Albert Einstein’s Theory of Relativity.

We also look at the ambitious BepiColombo mission, which is currently studying Mercury in unprecedented detail.
