Three steps to Mercury. Step 1: Using laboratory measurements, the researchers established a relationship between infrared radiation and SiO2 content. Step 2: They verified this relationship using measurement data from the Moon and lunar samples. Step 3: Using infrared data from Mercury, the researchers were then able to determine the SiO2 content of Mercury’s surface.
