Mercury is cool too; they're both planets. It's not a question of either/or but both/and.

Also, a strange feature dubbed 'the spider', an ancient volcano, has been beautifully imaged ( http://blogearth.wordpress.com/2008/02/02/mercury-the-planet-with-a-spider/ ) This mission has really got me interested in Mercury. Can't wait until the next flyby in October! :) A new image from Messenger has shown that Mercury actually has some slight coloration – there are faint pinks and blues, showing that it’s not just like the Moon after all.
