  1. ☿️ Meet Mercury: the Solar System's fastest, toughest overachiever.
    Closest to the Sun. Fastest orbit in the neighborhood (47 km/s!). A day that's literally longer than its year. And a surface that swings from 430°C at noon to -180°C at night — with basically no atmosphere to soften the blow.
