Interesting...gotta wondering what is oozing out of the planet

"But it isn't just filled-in craters. Using special cameras, the probe showed what one scientist called "the mysterious dark blue material."

It was all over the planet.

That led Arizona State University geologist Mark Robinson to speculate that the mineral is important but still unknown stuff ejected from Mercury's large core in the volcanic eruptions."

It takes, what, 1 minute? for light from the Sun to get to Mercury?

Takes us 8.. Hmm...we may not even need faster than light travel for this to happen.
