On January 8, 2025, the ESA/JAXA BepiColombo mission made its sixth flyby of Mercury, completing the final gravity assist needed to position itself for orbit insertion around the planet in late 2026. During this maneuver, the spacecraft flew just 295 kilometers above Mercury's night side before capturing stunning images of the sunlit northern regions.
