Asteroid 4 Vesta Discovery

Asteroid 4 Vesta (discoveries on march 29)

4 Vesta is the brightest asteroid on record visible to the naked eye. It was first observed by Heinrich Wilhelm Olbers on this day in 1807. Its diameter is about 525-km and its rotation period is of 5.34 hours. Its surface was found to be what we call terrestrial. It once had a molten interior.

First Picture of Mercury

first picture of mercury by mariner 10 (March 29 in Physics History)

On this day, Mariner 10 took the first picture of Mercury in 1974. It was the first spacecraft to use the gravitational pull of one planet to reach another planet. It was also the first one to use solar wind as a means of locomotion. Mariner 10 found a thin atmosphere and a magnetic field on Mercury.
