Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  (CNN) Ka rite ki ngā aorangi, kāore a Mercury i te nui o te aroha. He nui ake te wā e noho ana te iwi ki te rapu i te kaiwaiata o Queen, a Freddy Mercury, i runga i a Google, nui atu i te whenua o Mercury... ā, kua tata ki te hauwhā tau te roa o te ngaro o Freddie. Kāore anō a NASA kia nui te wā e noho ana ki reira, nā reira koinei te aorangi o roto i te pūnaha rā e tino kore e tūhurahia. Engari kotahi te pātai kua roa e raruraru ana i nga kaipūtaiao: He aha i tino pouri ai taua mea? Ki te whakataurite ki tō tātou marama, e ōrite ana te rahi, he iti ake te mārama e whakaatahia ana e te Mercury. Ko ngā kaipūtaiao o Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Brown University me te Planetary Sciences Institute e kī ana kua kitea pea e rātou te whakautu: Kua "whakapāngia tōraro", i roto i ngā kupu a Megan Bruck Syal, he kairangahau whai-tohu i Lawrence Livermore. I roto i nga tau, e tautohe ana nga kairangahau i roto i tetahi pepa i whakaputaina i te Mane i roto i te niupepa Nature Geoscience, ko nga meteorite iti-iti i puta mai i nga komete whai-a-karapu kua nui te waro pouri hei whakaiti i te nui o te marama e whakaatu ana. Ka rite tonu ngā wāhanga: He nui ake te puehu waro i tukuna mai i ngā kōmiti e tata ana ki te rā, e hurihuri ana a Mercury - e 50 ngā wā nui ake mō Mercury i tō tātau marama, e ai ki ngā kairangahau. A ko ngā whakamātautau mā te whakamahi i tētahi pupuhi nui a NASA i hangaia hei whakaata i ngā pānga o te aorangi i runga i te tauine iti, e whakaatu ana he pono te ariā, e ai ki ngā kaituhi. "Kua whakaaturia e mātou he rite te mahi a te waro ki te mea pōuri", e ai ki a Peter Schultz, he kaiwhakaako i te pūtaiao whenua i te Whare Wānanga o Brown. "Mai i te tirohanga o te tātari ā-rōpū, he rite tonu ki te peita e kore e kitea".
Ko te Mercury i "taia ki te pango" e nga miriona tau o nga micrometeorites, e kii ana nga kairangahau. Ka taea e te rangahau te whakaoti i te mōhiotanga he aha i pōuri ai te aorangi.
