I thought this deserved its own topic...ESA just posted some images and a story on observations taken during the MESSENGER flyby. I assume we'll see a NASA / APL post later on the same topic.

Some interesting images here; I was quite surprised by the excellent match between the VIRTIS thermal image and the Magellan radar image. Looks like they're zeroing in on how to process those surface images!
