Here you go, folks – the first image from last night's Mercury flyby by BepiColombo, ESA & JAXA's mission to our innermost planet.

The south pole is near the top of the image, right at the terminator between night & day, where there a some craters that never see sunlight & may even hold ice.

This is just a first teaser image – we'll be publishing some very exciting images from the closest part of the flyby later on today 🙂👍
