The 4️⃣th #BepiColombo flyby of Mercury happened last night! 🛰️ This was the closest it has ever been before, putting BepiColombo at just 165km from Mercury's surface, with a trajectory passing for the first time through the planet’s poles. 🌐 This flyby will also help us better understand Mercury, a planet with a 4.5 billion year history! #SpaceMatters #SpaceExploration #Mercury

Fascinating insights into the mysterious Mercury from BepiColombo's closest flyby yet! Exciting times for space exploration.
