When we are involved in a tense atmosphere, even performing simple tasks becomes complicated. Simple thought processes start to become complicated. We doubt ourselves.

Have you noticed that our good deeds are not always recognized, while our mistakes are quickly noticed and our mistakes come back to haunt us? This is partly because we humans find it easier to criticize than to praise. But it’s also because we have a strange tendency to dwell on our mistakes. On a subconscious level, focusing on a recent miscalculation encourages other people to do the same. You can easily change the atmosphere.

Mercury is an interesting planet. The first planet to orbit our star, the Sun, Mercury, has been largely ignored in the public eye over planets like Mars. However, recent information collected by the MESSENGER spacecraft indicates that Mercury may be just as fascinating as Mars, if not more so. If NASA or other space agencies ever want to return to our first planet, the public needs to know why such a space journey might be worthwhile. Can people live on Mercury? Maybe not, but there are indications that that idea is not as far-fetched as it initially seems.

With the advent of commercial space companies like SpaceX, new missions to Mercury may be something people can try again. One of the biggest challenges of spaceflight is cost, and with increasing competition and availability of technology, the cost of spaceflight is coming down. The last mission to Mercury was NASA's MESSENGER spacecraft in 2008.

Why should humanity continue to explore Mercury and the rest of the solar system? There are some excellent reasons why Mercury continues to be an interesting target for scientific and astronomical research.

10 Mercury is closer than all the planets to the Sun except Earth

Mercury is heavy, which is useful to remember. Why? Mercury has a dense core of molten iron. When people travel to another object in the solar system, they encounter the effects of zero or low gravity. Low-gravity environments wear out the human body, which functions best on the planet on which humans were born, Earth.

Despite its small size, Mercury has a gravitational acceleration of 9.85 feet per second squared (3.7 meters per second squared). That is comparable to Mars, a larger planet in terms of size. Mercury's relatively high gravitational field, while lower than Earth's, could make it a target for human exploration sometime in the future.^[1]

9 Mercury is cooler than Venus

Mercury is the closest planet to our star, the Sun, but does not stand out as the hottest. That title goes to Venus, the second planet from the sun. Mercury does not have a thick atmosphere. The atmosphere is what astronomers call an exosphere, very sporular with little gas content. Nevertheless, Mercury receives enormous radiation from the Sun, which is on average 36 million miles or 58 million kilometers away from our star.

The temperature of Mercury on the side facing the Sun can reach 427°C. Venus, the hottest planet in the solar system, has an even more unpleasant climate than Mercury, with average temperatures of 467°C on its surface. Mercury's thin exosphere prevents the heat from keeping Mercury warm, as it can drop to -170°C on the side facing away from the Sun.^[2]

8 No human probe has ever landed on Mercury

Mercury has never had human visitors. This is because the ability to travel into space is only something humanity has been able to do for the past 60 years. Although our technology is still primitive, the ongoing debate over whether humans should travel to other planets continues.

Most people are fixated on the moon and Mars as a likely target. However, there is also the possibility of building a balloon cloud city on Venus and a crater city on Mercury to study the sun. The rise of well-funded spaceship companies like SpaceX could open doors to send people to places they've never been before, including the first planet, Mercury.^[3]

7 Mercury provided evidence for the general theory of relativity

The planet Mercury has an orbit that is a distinct ellipse. As Mercury orbits the Sun, its distance from the Sun varies by 14 million miles. Mercury's elliptical orbit has the most eccentricity of any major planet in our solar system. In plain language, this means that the oval of Mercury's orbit is longer and less circular than the other seven planets in the solar system.

Early measurements of Mercury's orbit showed a difference between what Newton's theory of gravity predicted and how the orbit preceeded, or wobbled, as Mercury traveled around the sun several times.

Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity correctly explains the actual behavior of Mercury's orbit. According to a statement from the University of Central Florida, Einstein's general theory of relativity predicts that the precession, or wobble, of Mercury's orbit will be greater than what Newton's laws of gravity predicted. That's what astronomers observe when they measure Mercury's orbit.^[4]

6 Mercury has a thin atmosphere with oxygen and sodium

Although it looks a bit like our moon, more recent observations of Mercury have provided information that the moon's core structure and surface exhibit more variation than the moon's. Mercury is heavier than Earth's moon because of its iron core, and its thin atmosphere contains oxygen and sodium. However, Mercury's atmosphere is not sufficient for breathing.

Nevertheless, oxygen in Mercury's atmosphere is a fascinating discovery that could help future technology if humans ever explore Mercury. It is possible that the oxygen on Mercury could be captured and compressed for use by astronauts. Based on data from NASA MESSENGER spacecraft, oxygen comprises 42% of Mercury's thin atmosphere.^[5]

5 Mercury is the smallest planet

Mercury is a small and heavy planet. If Mercury were the size of a golf ball, Earth would be about the size of a grapefruit. Mercury is the smallest of the solar system's eight major planets. It has a diameter of 3,032 miles (4,880 kilometers).

Although Mercury is small compared to our planet Earth's diameter of 12,760 kilometers (7,926 miles), Mercury is still a large object that would take a long time for human astronauts or robotic rovers to fully explore. Any rover that spent more than a few months on the planet would probably need to be powered by a small nuclear isotope generator, especially if it were to visit Mercury's shadow side or its craters.^[6]

4 To human eyes, Mercury would appear dark gray

What you see depends on the type of eyes or camera you have. As the saying goes, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” The different wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation coming from the Sun would make Mercury appear dark gray to a human observer.

To an alien observer who had infrared vision, half of Mercury would glow very brightly because it absorbs a lot of heat from the nearby sun. The other half would be dark. Mercury would be a relatively dull and boring world for humans to live in. Still, there could be plenty of opportunities to collect light energy for solar panels to power future space bases.^[7]

3 There is water in the form of ice on Mercury

The MESSENGER spacecraft found evidence in 2008 that there is water ice in Mercury's dark large craters. This water ice could come from Mercury, or could be the result of comets hitting Mercury. Water ice on the planet closest to the sun seems quite strange.

However, the presence of water ice on Mercury could make it possible to provide coolant and hydration to future human space explorers visiting Mercury. Without water, it is difficult to sustain permanent life on the Earth's surface. Terraforming or aquaponic agriculture will only be possible in future space bases if water is present or brought to a planet from Earth.^[8]

2 There is the element chromium on Mercury

We like to use chrome to make stainless steel and shiny plating for our classic cars. Lining spacecraft with stainless steel protects them from corrosion when they come into contact with seawater when they land in Earth's oceans. SpaceX famously makes its Falcon and Starship rockets from stainless steel, which contains chromium in its chemical composition. In the future, Mercury could be an ideal place for mining the element, as Mercury contains a lot of chromium.

The percentage of chromium on Mercury is greatest in its heavy core. Chromium resists corrosion, which is a problem in structures and vehicles exposed to outdoor weathering and toxic acids. According to data from the MESSENGER spacecraft, the average amount of chromium on Mercury's surface is 200 parts per million.^[9]

1 Mercury has a gigantic impact crater

Mercury is very susceptible to impacts from objects such as asteroids and comets because of its thin atmosphere, which does not provide much protection. Mercury's surface is covered in craters, some of which are gigantic. The surface resembles Earth's moon, which is also heavily weathered by craters. One of the large craters is called the Rembrandt crater. It is 444 miles (715 kilometers) wide.

This monster crater was photographed by the MESSENGER spacecraft in 2008. Whether an asteroid or a comet created this large crater remains unknown, but the impactor was likely larger than a skyscraper. Craters are better places to build space bases on hot planets because shadows protect life forms from excessive radiation from a star like the Sun.^[10]

The legacy of the changing New Moon encourages us to take a nuanced approach today. With the links from Mercury to Jupiter and Neptune still active, and Venus adds creativity. By focusing on our needs and looking at realistic ways to move forward, we can get a glimpse of where new ideas can lead.

And make adjustments that keep things moving in the right direction.

Magicians use a variety of techniques to demonstrate their sleight of hand. And as an audience, we like to be misled. But they aren't the only people who have access to this kind of power. We often fool ourselves. We make hasty decisions (and convince ourselves that we are following well-thought-out plans). We jump to conclusions (but think we've considered all options). Yet this ability can also achieve magical results. Don't worry about not following the intended plan. You fooled yourself into a better route.

SCALE

September 24 – October 23

Emotions are not always easy to deal with. Caring for people (or situations) makes us vulnerable. When things don't go the way we want, we feel hurt. That's why we sometimes try to limit our involvement in issues that touch our hearts. There's no doubt that passion can be problematic. But what's the point of living a life without desire and enthusiasm? You are ruled by Venus, the planet of love. You can't stop yourself from caring. Don't hold back from expressing your feelings today. Your courage will be rewarded.

SCORPION

October 24 – November 22

When we act kindly toward someone, that kindness is passed on. When we treat someone poorly, we contribute to a climate of mistrust. It seems that you have been treated unfairly lately. But what if, instead of spreading that negativity, you chose to rise above the situation and respond in a less obvious way? As the sun moves to connect with your ruler, Pluto, you have a choice. You can pass on a bad feeling, or you can do something constructive. The second option will promote a much-needed solution.

Imagine reaching the end of a long climb. The clouds have descended making it difficult to see. Now someone pushes past you, and you slip, lose your balance and tumble back down the slope.

AQUARIUS

January 21 – February 19

Just because you're (dare I say it) not always right, doesn't mean you're always wrong. I mention this because I suspect you are going through a secret phase of self-doubt. Recent events have made you aware that you do not always assess every situation completely accurately. That makes you think about the way you work. But don't let this damage your confidence. In one vital area you are right about something that other people think you are wrong! Stay strong in your beliefs. They are worth sharing.

Imagine you are a mirror maker. Just think of the risks involved. One wrong move and, I'm afraid, seven years of bad luck. What would happen if an entire stack fell over? You must be gentle, careful and vigilant at all times. It sounds tiring. In your world you are now dealing with a situation that seems very delicate. You walk around on your toes and do an exercise to limit the damage. But as you'll see, it's less fragile than you think.

According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), the minimum and maximum temperatures on Wednesday are likely to be around 4 degrees Celsius and 17 degrees Celsius.

New Delhi: Delhi woke up to another chilly day as the mercury dropped to a chilling 4 degrees Celsius on Wednesday. The drop in temperatures has led to several flights and trains being delayed or canceled due to reduced visibility, causing inconvenience to travelers. Delhiites are bracing themselves for the harsh weather conditions. The cold wave has gripped the city and temperatures are continuously dropping below normal. The biting cold is the result of the prevailing northwest wind that blows over the region.

According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), the minimum and maximum temperatures on Wednesday are likely to be around 4 degrees Celsius and 17 degrees Celsius. The weather department also predicted that a short break in the cold wave is unlikely and the dense fog could continue for another two to four days. The IMD has issued an orange alert for Wednesday and Thursday due to cold wave conditions and denser fog. Yellow alarm was given on Friday and Saturday due to dense fog.

According to the MeT department, fog is considered 'shallow' when visibility is up to 500 metres. 'Moderate' fog occurs when visibility is a maximum of 200 meters. Because visibility is a maximum of 50 meters, the fog is categorized as 'dense'. It is categorized as 'very close' when visibility is less than 50 meters.

Advice on airport issues in Delhi

More than 50 flights were delayed at the Indira Gandhi International Airport on Tuesday due to thick fog. Eight flights were canceled between 9:20 am and 12 noon.

Amid the challenging weather conditions, Delhi airport authorities have advised passengers to stay in touch with their service providers to receive the latest flight status. A message on X from the airport authority said: “Due to dense fog, flight operations at Delhi Airport may be affected. Passengers are requested to contact the relevant airline for up-to-date flight information.”

With Mercury (ideas) now in Capricorn, we can find solutions to recently identified problems. And it's worth remembering that the best answers aren't always found through online searches.

As the technology industry shows off its developments at the start of the CES trade show, you can expect progress in the world of AI.

While a positive attitude can go a long way, even the most optimistic person in the world will find some things impossible. With the best will in the world, certain goals are simply unattainable in some situations. I don't say this to discourage you. Quite the opposite. It's just that past disappointments can tempt you to underestimate the opportunity now presented to you. You can be really confident today. While there is no guarantee of success, know that the odds are in your favor.

I recently watched a documentary about parrots. Their ability to imitate made me think about how people share that skill. We copy words, people and ideas. Sometimes, when we try different ways of being or different points of view, it sounds like we don't know what's going on. We then learn from the reactions of others and adapt. Mimicry is part of our development process. Yet there are times when it seems like we are communicating, but the words and actions have no real meaning. Pay attention to that today.

When we are involved in a confusing situation, it is difficult to think of the ideal way to solve it. But are you so wrapped up in the need to avoid a particular problem (or relationship) that you settle for anything that seems better than it currently is? Yes, there are times when we have to shrug our shoulders and deal with whatever life throws at us. But the current cosmic climate gives you options. Don't lose sight of your standards today. Despite the uncertainty you experience, you are close to achieving an important goal.

Everything in life seems circular. The moon revolves around our planet. Our planet revolves around the sun. And the sun rotates on its axis. And our minds seem to follow the same pattern. The gears continue to turn and activate more gears, which continue to turn. Your mind has been in a whirl lately. With so much going on, it's no wonder you're feeling a little dizzy. With your ruler, Mercury, now settling in Capricorn, things are starting to make sense. You will notice that once that happens, you will regain a sense of balance.

Although you see a logical way to get where you want to go, it doesn't look very enticing. Or it will be more expensive than you can afford.

So your best option is to seek help. There are people around who can help pave the way forward. Explaining your needs takes courage. But the results will be worth it.

Imagine how you would react if everything fell apart? Or how would you do if life only presented you with challenges, awkward people, and impossible scenarios? If you want to imagine an endless litany of worst-case scenarios, no one will stop you. But I hope you see how ridiculous that idea is. Life on planet Earth can be crazy and unpredictable. But don't let your imagination lead you down that useless path. Instead, focus on how to handle an improvement. One is coming your way.

November 23 – December 21

No matter how convincingly someone explains something, we only hear what we want to hear and believe what we want to believe. And even when something is staring us in the face, we only see what we want to see. And since we're usually much better at talking than listening, it's no wonder there are so many misunderstandings and miscommunications. That means we learn to expect disharmony even when we share common ground. Don't distrust the opportunity that comes your way. Maybe you don't understand now. But you will.

If we scratch beneath any surface, we find something waiting to be discovered. Even a simple, random comment can hide emotions. If you are going to make the decision you need to make now, there are certain things you need to consider. Otherwise, you could let your expectations dictate your judgment and come to the wrong conclusion. With Mercury (intellect) in your zodiac sign, you can carefully weigh all the factors and come to a decision that will have a powerful positive effect on your future well-being.

Think back to when you were in school. Each new semester brought more difficult lessons to learn. Even though those days may be long gone, we are all still students in the school of life; and a new year brings a different set of challenges. It doesn't seem to be getting any easier. Once we master something, something else emerges. And if we don't learn the lesson, it will present itself again, in a different format, until we do.
