Welcome to the MESSENGER Education and Public Outreach Home Page! In developing this site, writers, filmmakers, educators, scientists, and engineers are working together to bring the exciting science of MESSENGER to everyone. Here you will find a wealth of resources about the planet Mercury and about the MESSENGER mission. If you are a student or teacher make sure you check out the special sections containing educational materials and opportunities. For interested community members there are background materials as well as up-to-date information on the progress of the mission. The partner organizations in this Education and Public Outreach effort are described here.
