Astro Exam 3 Flashcards | Quizlet The one thing that cannot be found on Mercury's surface is an atmosphere Water ice is found in the bottom of deep craters called "cold traps", located at the Mercury poles
Ice in Micro Cold Traps on Mercury: Implications for Age and Origin Evidence in radar, reflectance, and visible imagery indicates that surface and subsurface water ice is present inside permanently shadowed regions in the north polar region of Mercury The origin of this ice and the time at which it was delivered to the planet are both unknown
Water Group Exospheres and Surface Interactions on the Moon, Mercury . . . Mercury hosts water ice deposits in permanently shadowed regions near its poles that act as cold traps Water ice is also present on the Moon, where these polar deposits are of great interest in the context of future lunar exploration
Mercury poles give up hints of water ice - BBC News A Nasa spacecraft has found further tantalising evidence for the existence of water ice at Mercury's poles Though surface temperatures can soar above 400C, some craters at Mercury's
New insights into the origin of ice: chronological implication from 14 . . . Our findings unravel younger ages for the floors than for the associated ejecta, prompting further investigation into the role of ice as the mechanisms responsible for rejuvenating polar crater floors Notably, a correlation emerges between the age of craters and the accumulation of ice within PSRs
Is There Water on Mercury? - Ask an Astronomer Quick Answer: Yes, there is water on Mercury, primarily as ice in permanently shadowed craters near its poles, despite extreme surface temperatures
Scientists Find New Evidence for Surface Water Ice at Mercury’s North . . . New evidence for surface water ice in small-scale cold traps and in three large craters at the north polar region of Mercury from the Mercury Laser Altimeter Geophysical Research Letters, published online September 14, 2017; doi: 10 1002 2017GL074723
