Mercury, the planet closest to the Sun, is getting surprisingly smaller

David Rothery Professor of Planetary Earth Sciences at the Open University

Open University PhD student Ben Man found

But in the new study, the team found evidence that as Mercury continues to cool, the planet's shrinkage is not over yet

Because these grabens are not completely covered, by debris from impacts from meteor impacts on Mercury, the team estimates that the stretching, and collapse occurred less than 300 million years ago, providing evidence that the, planet's contraction still continues today
