Drawing the first planet: Mercury | soft-spoken ASMR [science, space, astronomy, history]

Like many things in the solar system, Mercury has been observed by humans for thousands of years. It has a connection to our collective psyche (even if it's only what we have projected onto it), and a history of eluding those that try to understand it. It is the smallest and innermost planet in the Solar System, bearing the full brunt of the Sun's volatile coronal mass ejections. It's orbital eccentricities fooled astronomers and mathematicians for centuries and it has amazed current scientists with it's recently discovered water-ice and organic compounds. Let's find out all about this temperamental, inferior planet with a voluminous iron core.Thanks for watching. #ASMR #Mercury #space
