- Summary:
- Episode 129 - Messenger: Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun, which makes it both difficult to observe and to visit with a probe. To minimise this problem Messenger is on a circuitous path using the gravitation from both Venus and Earth to help it approach Mercury at an oblique angle to the Sun.
