The Tail of Mercury

Scattered sunlight gives sodium atoms in Mercury's atmosphere a push, and it is this "radiation pressure" that is strong enough, during parts of Mercury's year, to strip the atmosphere and give Mercury a long orange glowing tail. Someone standing on Mercury's nightside at the right time of year would see a faint orange similar to a city sky illuminated by sodium lamps!

ABOUT THE SPACE DESTINATIONS SERIES

Space tourism is still a long way off, but it’s not hard to imagine that someday, tourists will visit the natural geological landmarks of other worlds much like they tour the Grand Canyon, Mount Everest or Ayers Rock here on Earth. Each of these great tourist destinations needs a classic retro travel poster to entice visitors.
