The adventure is about to begin! We'll discuss it here. Link to ESA coverage, launch currently slated for 20 Oct/0145 UTC.
GO BEPICOLOMBO!!! -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

And flyby video , (and here )
Can anyone help me understand what this movement is (in the visible part of the probe - the Mercury Planetary Orbiter’s magnetometer boom)? Photo artifact? A play of light? below gif's - fragments cut from the "video": |

My hypothesis would be that a small part of the spacecraft is blacked out in the darkness of shadow cast by another part of the spacecraft in some frames, and seems to "appear" when it is not in shadow.
