- ceejayoz 2y agoNot sure how "artist's impression" the graphic in the article is, but it shows the innermost orbit being just on the edge. Given we have ice on Mercury right around here, and the fact that I have to pressure can stuff like garlic because boiling won't kill spores, probably not a dealbreaker. https://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary/ice/ice_mercury.html https://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary/ice/ice_mercury.html
