The Solar System: Mercury planet illustration

Illustration of the planet Mercury, the first planet in our solar system. Surrounding the planet are streams of the element Hg, otherwise known as liquid Mercury.

Liquid Mercury is the only metal that is liquid at room temperature. It is not found on the planet Mercury, but it can be found on earth in the form of Cinnabar (Mercury Sulfide).

Inspired by the cover of Tame Impala’s album Currents.
