The planet Mercury is the closest to the sun in the solar system, it is one of the hottest, and one about which we know very little because of its proximity to the star in the center of the solar system. Considering how close the planet Mercury is to the sun, it constantly endures the weather generated by the star, and on April 12 it was hit by a wave of boiling plasma that was thrown into the universe by the powerful star.
The planet Mercury suffers because of a much more intense activity of the sun during this period, it increasing in intensity much faster than the scientists predicted until now. The wave of hot plasma that hit the planet Mercury on April 12 generated a very strong geomagnetic storm, but also threw pieces of the planet's surface into outer space, something that shows us how destructive these plasma eruptions are.
Planet Mercury: INCREDIBLE observation made by Scientists in the Solar System
The planet Mercury would have been hit by this wave of plasma just one day after it was detected on the sun, being emitted by a solar spot, and the plasma thrown towards the planet would also have generated material in the area of its comet tail . Without an atmosphere, and with a weak magnetic field, the planet Mercury is very seriously affected by solar eruptions of this kind, but scientists have so far struggled to carefully monitor what is happening at such a great distance from Earth.
The planet Mercury is constantly hit by solar eruptions, and this led over time to the loss of the atmosphere and the magnetic field, because of this the planet is constantly losing pieces of its surface in its travels through the solar system. It is very possible that this wave of plasma left from the sun towards the planet Mercury has generated massive losses of composition, but scientists cannot analyze what happens there because of its proximity to the sun.
The planet Mercury will be visited in a few years by a space probe called BepiColombo, it is now on its way to the planet, being sent by Japan, and the plan is to discover more of the planet's secrets.
