A couple of years ago, there was another update of "The Grand Tour," aka the "tour" of the solar system, with photographs taken from various space probes and artists' representations. I had the version that came out in 1994, but the newest version had the most current info.
Quite fascinating. You probably already know this, but in the section pertaining to Mercury, it said that there may actually be ice on its surface, in crater walls that are permanently shaded from the sun.
