Cardsmiths Space – Galactic Edition – Mercury #26 – Opal 10/45

Description:
Though the closest planet to our blazing Sun, Mercury has ice at its north pole. This surprising discovery is due to the tilt of Mercury’s axis, which keeps part of the pole permanently shaded. The water may have originated from comets or meteorites striking the planet, or from water vapor rising from beneath the surface.

Quote (Back of Card):
“Though the closest planet to our blazing Sun, Mercury has ice at its north pole. How? The tilt of Mercury’s axis keeps part of the pole shaded. The water may have come from comets or meteorites striking the planet, or as water vapor from below the surface.”
