The first image ever obtained from a spacecraft in orbit around Mercury was snapped in the wee morning hours yesterday and returned to Earth in short order. Click to launch the photo gallery This image shows a swath of Mercury's southern hemisphere, an area that has never been thoroughly explored close-up (that prominent white feature is a huge, 50-mile-wide crater named Debussy). That's just one question the Messenger spacecraft could help astronomers answer in the coming year as it makes multiple passes around the planet in its 12-hour orbit.

Update: NASA and company have released a few more Messenger pics as promised, click through the gallery above to see what else Messenger is seeing.
