    As the sun slowly dropped behind the horizon and the sky turned to a soft dark blue, Beverly slowly dragged the silver curtains closed. She stumbled in her now darkened room over to the small lamp sitting on the cabinet opposite of her bed. With a tug of the string, the lighted flickered on and covered the room in a pale, orange haze.

Many of the concepts and facts have been things I have had little to no prior knowledge of. But regardless of any of that

    Mercury The surface of Mercury is littered with craters. These craters are believed to have been created by collisions from debris.
