Mariner 10 map of Mercury Mariner 10 flew by Mercury three times in 1974 and 1975, seeing the same hemisphere sunlit each time. As a result, fully half of Mercury's surface is still terra incognita. Some of the blank area on this map has been imaged from Earth at lower resolution using radio telescopes. USGS / NASA / Mark Robinson / Steve Albers
