Mercury's Majestic Craters: A Cosmic Vista

Fun Fact

Mercury is the smallest planet in our solar system and the closest to the Sun! Despite being so close, it actually has ice in its polar craters where sunlight never reaches.

Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Rocky Textures - Use varying shades of gray, brown, and ochre to show the rough, ancient surface of Mercury.
2. 2🖍️ Dramatic Shadows - Apply dark grays and deep purples in the shadowed areas to create depth, remembering the sun casts very sharp shadows in space.
3. 3✨ Distant Earth & Moon - Use a tiny speck of blue and white for Earth and a smaller speck of light gray for the Moon against the vast, dark sky.
4. 4🌈 Starry Canvas - Use a fine-tipped pen or white crayon to add countless tiny stars across the dark cosmic background, varying their brightness.
