Planets visited by Aircrafts


No human has yet set foot on any space body other than earth and the moon. But unmanned spacecrafts have taken photographs, made scientific readings, and gathered data either by flying past or landing. Pluto is scheduled for its first visit in 2015.


Astronomers have never seen this side of Mercury until now. The image was taken from a Nasa spacecraft 125 miles away
