This month's cover features Mercury's silhouetteÌýagainst a roiling backdrop of Texas-sized convection cells on the surface of the Sun. The brighter regions indicate an upflow of hotter gas revealing an effect known as solar granulation. The original image is monochromatic (the reddishÌý705.7 nm TiO spectral line); the ghostly ring around the planet is an artifact of the adaptive-optics system (see .
