After eight years of threading through the inner solar system, Europe's BepiColombo mission has arrived at the threshold of Mercury — the smallest, densest, and least understood of the rocky planets. Two spacecraft, built to withstand the sun's most punishing proximity, now prepare to enter orbit around a world that has long resisted close study. What unfolds in the coming weeks is not merely a technical achievement but a reckoning with one of the oldest questions in planetary science: how did the solar system's innermost world come to be so strange?
