The main set of images of Mercury as seen by ESA & JAXA's #BepiColombo mission last night during its fourth & closest flyby yet have now been published.

They're available to download on ESA's website, but they've been enlarged to add logos & captions, making them too big to post on Mastodon ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

So here they all in two toots as a preview, resized to the original 1024x1024 pixels, for you to enjoy.

Happy to have worked on them ๐Ÿ™‚๐Ÿ‘

Here's the second set of three images from the very close flyby of Mercury by ESA & JAXA's #BepiColombo mission last night.

As ever, it was a great pleasure & privilege to be with the mission team last night as the spacecraft made contact after the flyby & downlinked the data, to process the images you see here, & then to discuss with scientists colleagues across Europe & Japan what they show.

Full images & article:

And as a bonus, several of the #BepiColombo images of Mercury were annotated to show craters & other features on the surface, including Stoddart crater, newly-named after the New Zealand painter, Margaret Stoddart.

Again, these are 1024x1024 previews at the original camera resolution; full-res version of these along with descriptions are available on the ESA website:
