Farewell Messenger!....

Caption NASA:"Originally planned to orbit Mercury for one year, the mission exceeded all expectations, lasting for over four years and acquiring extensive datasets with its seven scientific instruments and radio science investigation. This afternoon, the Spacecraft succumbed to the pull of Solar Gravity and impacted Mercury's Surface.
The image shown here is the last one acquired and transmitted back to Earth by the mission. The image is located within the Floor of the roughly 93-Km-diameter Impact Crater named "Jokai". The Spacecraft struck the Planet just north of Shakespeare Basin".
