Planet Mercury it is captured in a stunning image published by NASA, one that shows us the planet in a position that very few have seen until now. More precisely, the planet Mercury is presented by those from NASA in an image that shows us the "tail" of sodium that is released from the planet's atmosphere while it travels through the universe, and this makes it even more spectacular to watch in the galaxy we are part of.
Planet Mercury it has small amounts of sodium in its atmosphere, but when they meet the light and radiation of the sun, they are released into the universe, and form what you see in the image below. However, we are talking about a very large amount of sodium that is released from the atmosphere of the planet Mercury in order for a "tail" of this kind to appear in the galaxy, but the researchers have not yet calculated any quantity regarding it.
Planet Mercury: AMAZING NASA Image that SURPRISED the World
Planet Mercury it leaves a sodium "tail" in its wake, which is also bright, having a yellow color, and this is how it was captured in images by at least one telescope. The planet Mercury had this sodium "tail" discovered in 2001 by researchers, more than a decade after the first theories regarding its existence appeared, and the image was taken in May 2020 with a special filter that can capture yellow light of particles.
Planet Mercury it practically has a "tail" that is normally visible for comets, not for planets, but here is how in the case of this type of cosmic bodies, surprising images of this kind can appear. The planet Mercury is the only one among the planets that has a "tail" of this kind visible and photographed by researchers, or at least that's what we have seen so far from what they have presented to us in relation to the planets in our solar system.
Planet Mercury it was presented in a surprising pose for many people, but there are still many secrets about the planets in the solar system that can still be revealed.
