Surface of Mercury, artwork C015 / 4013
Surface of Mercury. Artwork of the Sun over rocky outcrops on the surface of the planet Mercury. Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun, orbiting at an average distance of 58 million kilometres, less than half the Earth-Sun distance. The solar wind blasts atoms from its rocky surface, forming a very thin atmosphere that is constantly lost to space. The surface temperature extremes are the greatest in the solar system, ranging from 400 to minus 170 degrees Celsius. Mercury takes 59 days to rotate on its axis, with the Sun rising every 176 Earth days, which is once every two Mercury years

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the awe-inspiring surface of Mercury, our neighboring planet. In this artwork titled C015 / 4013, we are transported to the barren and lifeless landscape of Mercury, where rocky outcrops dominate the scene. The Sun illuminates the rugged terrain with its intense brightness, casting long shadows over the mountains and craters that dot the mercurian surface. Mercury's proximity to the Sun is evident in its extreme conditions. With temperatures ranging from a scorching 400 degrees Celsius to a bone-chilling minus 170 degrees Celsius, it experiences some of the greatest temperature extremes in our solar system. Its thin atmosphere constantly dissipates into space due to the relentless solar wind that bombards its rocky exterior. As we gaze at this artwork, we can't help but marvel at Mercury's unique characteristics. It takes an astonishing 59 days for this innermost planet to complete one rotation on its axis while witnessing a sunrise every 176 Earth days – once every two Mercury years. Richard Bizley's illustration beautifully captures both the harshness and beauty of Mercury's surface. This mesmerizing piece invites us to contemplate our place within our vast universe and appreciate how different worlds like Mercury can exist just beyond our reach.
