The data is also helping scientists to understand planet Mercurys evolution over a period of time.
This distribution indicates that Mercury could have an outer core made of liquid.
A new research indicates that Mercurys elevation changes are much smaller in comparison to Moon or Mars.
A major topographic feature is an up-liftment in the planets northern latitude inside a major volcanic plain.
It seems the area has been lifted up after formation of the plains.
Science Express Today will soon publish the findings related to Mercury in its digital journal.
