![]() Mercury is notoriously difficult to reach as any spacecraft traveling in its direction needs to constantly brake against the gravitational pull of the sun. Thursday, June 23, 2022: The BepiColombo space probe took its second look at Mercury on Thursday, June 23, during a gravity-assist flyby designed to adjust the spacecraft's trajectory so that it can enter orbit around the solar system's innermost planet in 2025.īepiColombo, a joint mission between the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), launched in 2018 for a seven-year cruise to the scorched little planet. The observations enabled astronomers to finetune the calculation of the space rock's orbit and confirm it won't hit Earth in the end. On top of that, astronomers had to find the super-faint space rock on the backdrop of the star-studded band of the Milky Way. But the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope in Chile, one of the most powerful optical telescopes in the world, rose to the challenge and detected the asteroid when it had a magnitude of 27 (the sun, by far the brightest object in the sky, has a magnitude of minus 27). When it reemerged in the darker sky again, it was too far away for most ground-based telescopes to see. The asteroid then disappeared for several months in the glare of the sun as it approached the star. Initial observations indicated it was bound to slam into our planet in 2052. The asteroid, dubbed 2021 QM1, was discovered in August last year.
