| Radar Exposes Mercury's Interior http://spaceref.com/mercury/radar-exposes-mercurys-interior.htmlGround-based radar suggests that Mercury must have a liquid (outer) core, which fits with the observations of Mercury's magnetic field. Implies that there is another element mixed in with iron in the core to lower its melting point, sulphur perhaps. | |
