Parts of Mercury are so hot lead would boil but there’s apparently water ice on parts of it. Crazy mixed up planet….

I first learned about Mercury through science fiction stories which were written during the time when it was thought Mercury was tidally locked with the sun, having always a dark side and a light side. In the stories, humanity colonized the habitable zone between – called the Twilight Zone. For current thinking about this, google “Mercury’s Rotation.” It’s WEIRD.
