Mercury May Have Shrunk Up to 23 Kilometers
x/bepicolombo
— 2d
New research indicates Mercury has contracted 10% to 30% more than previously thought, shrinking about 12 miles (roughly 19 kilometers) in diameter since its formation, with surface debris from ancient impacts obscuring the planet’s shrinkage signs. The finding could imply a larger metal core or different core composition and temperature history, and future BepiColombo measurements are expected to help confirm the extent of Mercury’s cooling and contraction.

The debris from old impacts covering up the shrinkage clues is a good point. BepiColombo data should settle how much the planet has really changed.

A Hungarian cemetery association hosted a grave-digging contest in Nyergesújfalu that drew 38 competitors and 19 two-person teams, aiming to showcase the trade and shed taboos around death by emphasizing speed and precise grave dimensions. The winning duo, Róbert Nagy and László Kiss, dug a 1.6m by 2m by 0.8m grave in 1 hour 21 minutes and shared a prize of 200,000 forints (about $640).

Disrupting expectations, Mali defeated Spain 82-73 in Berlin to record their second-ever Women’s World Cup win and first against a European country, led by Sika Koné’s 19 points and 10 rebounds (her fifth straight double-double) and Djeneba N’Diaye’s 19. A 16-4 third-quarter burst flipped a tight game after halftime, turning momentum in Mali’s favor as Spain’s Iyana Martín top-scored with 20 but could not close the gap.
