Two space voyages have passed close to Mercury as of June 2014. They were Mariner 10 and MESSENGER. These voyages sent data about Mercury back to NASA.

Why can't the Hubble telescope see mercury?

The Hubble Space Telescope cannot see Mercury clearly because Mercury is too close to the Sun, making it difficult for Hubble to observe without damaging its instruments. Additionally, Mercury's small size and proximity to the bright glare of the Sun make it challenging to distinguish from the surrounding brightness.

How do scientist study Mercury?

They study mercury with high powered satellites from outer space. Of course if they got to close to it where it is so close to the sun it would fry in an instant. The closest planet they have been to the sun is venus and that satellite burnt up from venus's hot atmosphere. Anything closer than that would vaporize. The only planet or considered planetoid we have not taken a look at is Pluto where it is so far away and it is so small.


What is in the space above mercury in a barometer?

In a mercury barometer, the space above the mercury is a vacuum or a space filled with a small amount of inert gas like nitrogen. This space helps to create a more accurate measurement of atmospheric pressure by allowing the mercury to respond only to changes in atmospheric pressure, without interference from other gases.
