So
its official, we do have WATER ICE on Planet Mercury, the closest
planet to the Sun. It might be surprising, how can ice remain frozen at
the temperatures as high as 427 Celsius?
But there are certain
locations near and at the North Pole of the planet which are
permanently shielded from Sun's heat. There, the Messenger Spacecraft
found tons of frozen ice and possible organic molecules.
Highlighted in yellow in this image are the walls and floors of impact craters that harbor large amounts of Water Ice.
