AMNH Presents | Astronomy Live: Mercury Rising

Hayden Planetarium Space Theater

Thanks to the recently completed Messenger mission, we can now explore our innermost planet in detail. Resembling our Moon, and with a similar atmosphere, Mercury has enough activity in its interior to generate a small magnetic field. Join guides Denton Ebel, curator of the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, and Director of Astrovisualization Carter Emmart for an up-close examination of our solar system’s smallest planet.

Support for Hayden Planetarium Programs is provided by the Horace W. Goldsmith Endowment Fund.
