Can the hubble space telescope take pictures of mercury?

Yes, the Hubble Space Telescope is capable of taking pictures of Mercury. However, since Mercury orbits close to the Sun, special considerations must be taken to avoid damaging the telescope's sensitive instruments. Additionally, images of Mercury taken by Hubble may not be as detailed as those captured by spacecraft specifically sent to study the planet.
