"It is the second encounter, that will uncover many more interesting mystery about the planet."

MESSENGER launched over the space to the Mercury in January 2008, and will make its final way back in September 2009. Now By this time it would have take a round the Sun 15 times and think of covering eight billion kilometres.

I thinks it to back safely to the earth...!!
