What, why?

IT'S GONNA CRASH!!!

Bring SPF 8 billion sunscreen and don't expect any beach time.

Did Mercury grow a tail? 🤔😂😂

Lol. I read the caption before I finished scrolling and was like "Uh I see like 6 objects and no tail what am I missing."

Mercury on the move ✨

I asked AI... "Standing on Mercury at the hot–cold boundary wouldn’t be survivable, and it wouldn’t feel “moderate” — it would be a chaotic mix of extreme heat, extreme cold, and space hazards. You’d be exposed to vacuum Hit by intense radiation Experience extreme thermal stress"

Where's it going

Not

What an awesome photo. Thank you for explaining the science.

Wow! I have never SEEN Mercury with a tail before!

This is fascinating!

Amazing! Thanks!

I took my Subaru from them

Awesome pic and a great/simple explanation to my question, "WHY DOES MERCURY HAVE A TAIL?!?"

Amazing.

My friend Jess painted this, it was the start of a set.. I had the red version as he was raised in Africa for a bit..

Thank you

Does that mean that Mercury will eventually be disintegrated into non-existence? How long will it take? 🤔

Wow, that is quite a bombardment . .

Thank you for explaining. I'd just ask about It.

I never knew this! Super cool!

I'm not a smart man, in fact I'm not a man so I appreciate your explanation. Really eased my fears. Considering the time-line we're in that was a bit terrifying. This is an amazing picture! Thanks for sharing.

Thank god you explained that because I literally had no idea how that would happen.

It's probably losing mass. But at such a slow rate that it doesn't really make much difference to the planet between now and when the Sun is going to vapourise it.

Fascinating!

I saw the picture and had the question you provided the answer to right away! Great post!

Damn that can't be good for Mercury if it gets so bombarded it has a tail in space. Do the micrometoeroids at least balance out with the mass they knock off the planet, or is Mercury likely shrinking?

That's hot

Why is she on fire and falling out the sky? ; )

Just amazing, Paul. Thank you for sharing!!

Wow, beautiful!

😮💜

😱😱😱

Well damn, where does Mercury need to be in such a hurry?

Oh

Mercury has a tail?

mercury haulin ass

Beautiful and interesting. Thank you for sharing.

Gorgeous photo! I

No. I don't see it. The sky is covered with clouds spitting out copious amounts of frozen matter. But thanks for letting me know.

The planet of intellect. It has been retrograde for a while. Let's hope it is returning

Ooooo!!!!! Cool. Every day is a learning day.

Wow! Gorgeous picture!

Uh oh… Dude, what did you DO?

I just watched Don't Look Up again, not the image I wanted to see.

Its getting the fuck away from Trump

Incredible! 👏🏽 Thank you for a glimpse of the dynamic cosmos surrounding us and our perception-limited senses. Might all planets have tails? Earth loses ~90 tons of atmospheric material a day (mostly H and He atoms). 👉 WASP-69b has a 560,000 km tail! science.nasa.gov/universe/exo...

Beautiful picture

What makes the tail effect?

WOW

Just saw your answer as to how it formed. Disregard my previous question

I love learning about the night sky

Is that what I’ve been looking at? Nice!

Why didn't the stars trail? Exposure time?

Whoa!

amazinggg!

What a glorious picture👍💖

"Mercury "

It's just a mindfuck when you've never experienced it. I always have to consciously remind myself that your winter is oppo of ours because it isn't 2nd nature. Plus, I bet your winter isn't nearly what ours is, even in the eastern US.

I'm thinking about the mobile city of Terminator on Mercury racing away from the Sun from the sci-fi novel "2312" by Kim Robinson.

Planetary evaporation at its finest.

Mother of Dragons Arrival Status: Imminent.

How/why the tail?

Wow!

Cool. Filmed at LaPalma in the Canary Islands in 2022. The tail is 22 million kilometers long! Thank you for posting the pic!

Wow that’s some photo… thank you 🙏

Getting kicked out of heaven more likely

It’s a shooting star, leaping through the sky…

Glad you explained, as it would seem, otherwise, catastrophic 🤷🏼‍♀️

You call him Mercury, his friends call him Freddy - y ´all looking at a #rockstar ;) ⫸ www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9C1... #onelove #kindness #rocknroll #rock #queen #choir #wewillrockyou #freddymercury #djane #djnews #astronews #astro #space #stargazers #science #stem #plejades #theplanets #news

Yep!

Thank you!

Why is it doing that?

i know i just wanted to say something stupid and obviously incorrect

Why would a planet have a tail?

Wow

Beautiful!

Beautiful!

When Venus calls and says dad is at work.

You sure? Kinda big.

The Devil you say😜

Keep posting your pictures I love 💕 looking at them.

📌

Amazing shot. Well done ❤️

Beautiful

Why does Mercury have a tail?

Must be in retrograde.

Here I was hoping the tail meant it was moving and going to crash into Earth and sadly I just learned something new. Guess I'm still going to work tonight. 😭

Sodium tail!

Gorgeous pic!! Does the tail point in any particular direction (towards-against) in reference to the Sun? If the particles are not ionized, they wouldn't follow the solar wind. Curious about it.

Great capture

What is the cluster of what looks like blue stars? I've never seen so many that are so close and so bright.

And above it, the American public: The Pleadees

Love love love!

Wow!🤯

I’m sure it’s galactus coming to eat our planet

Uh huh.

Another image where Pluto's tail is clearly visible.

Incredible 🤩

An amazing shot!

Beautiful!!

WOW!
