It was associated with the direction north and the phase of water in the Five Phases system of metaphysics. [155] Modern Chinese, Korean, Japanese and Vietnamese cultures refer to the planet literally as the "water star" ( 水星), based on the Five elements. [156] [157] [158] Hindu mythology used the name Budha for Mercury, and this god was thought to preside over Wednesday. [159] The god Odin (or Woden) of Germanic paganism was associated with the planet Mercury and Wednesday. [160] The Maya may have represented Mercury as an owl (or possibly four owls; two for the morning aspect and two for the evening) that served as a messenger to the underworld. [161]

The icy crater regions are estimated to contain about 10 14–10 15kg of ice, [20] and may be covered by a layer of regolith that inhibits sublimation. [87] By comparison, the Antarctic ice sheet on Earth has a mass of about 4 ×10 18kg, and Mars's south polar cap contains about 10 16kg of water. [20] The origin of the ice on Mercury is not yet known, but the two most likely sources are from outgassing of water from the planet's interior and deposition by impacts of comets. [20]

[75] [76] [77] Fifty-one pyroclastic deposits have been identified, [78] where 90% of them are found within impact craters. [78] A study of the degradation state of the impact craters that host pyroclastic deposits suggests that pyroclastic activity occurred on Mercury over a prolonged interval. [78] Gilvarry, John J.

[185]For the same reason, there are two points on Mercury's equator, 180 degrees apart in longitude, at either of which, around perihelion in alternate Mercurian years (once a Mercurian day), the Sun passes overhead, then reverses its apparent motion and passes overhead again, then reverses a second time and passes overhead a third time, taking a total of about 16 Earth-days for this entire process. In the other alternate Mercurian years, the same thing happens at the other of these two points. The amplitude of the retrograde motion is small, so the overall effect is that, for two or three weeks, the Sun is almost stationary overhead, and is at its most brilliant because Mercury is at perihelion, its closest to the Sun. This prolonged exposure to the Sun at its brightest makes these two points the hottest places on Mercury. Maximum temperature occurs when the Sun is at an angle of about 25 degrees past noon due to diurnal temperature lag, at 0.4 Mercury days and 0.8 Mercury years past sunrise. [117] Conversely, there are two other points on the equator, 90 degrees of longitude apart from the first ones, where the Sun passes overhead only when the planet is at aphelion in alternate years, when the apparent motion of the Sun in Mercury's sky is relatively rapid. These points, which are the ones on the equator where the apparent retrograde motion of the Sun happens when it is crossing the horizon as described in the preceding paragraph, receive much less solar heat than the first ones described above.

It is important to be clear about the meaning of "closeness". In the astronomical literature, the term "closest planets" often means "the two planets that approach each other most closely". In other words, the orbits of the two planets approach each other most closely. However, this does not mean that the two planets are closest over time. For example, essentially because Mercury is closer to the Sun than Venus, Mercury spends more time in proximity to Earth; it could, therefore, be said that Mercury is the planet that is "closest to Earth when averaged over time". However, using this time-average definition of 'closeness'—as noted above—it turns out that Mercury is the closest planet to all other planets in the solar system. For that reason, arguably, the proximity-definition is not particularly helpful. An episode of the BBC Radio 4 programme "More or Less" explains the different notions of proximity well.

A person who isn’t represented in a particularly positive light here is Mercury’s long-time friend and former lover, Mary Austin, who inherited the bulk of Mercury’s estate. According to Hutton, she was rather cruel to him and Mercury’s other close confidantes. This is especially evident in the aftermath of Mercury’s death from complications to do with AIDs, and her supposed instructions about his house. Schultz, Peter H.; Gault, Donald E. (1975).
