The MOST interesting thing about Mercury that you forgot to mention is the Charged Particle display on the Mercurian nightside. A constant rain of glowing charged particles from the sun can be seen as a psychadelic display from the nightside at surface level as they streak around the Mercurian magnetospheric bowshock to go trailing away from the nightside. To an observer on the nightside surface, this would be a mindbending sight

It's amazing how much an atmosphere impacts overall temp.
You'd think being so close to the sun the surface its self would get so hot it'd retain heat on the dark side. But it doesn't, in fact it seems to immediately lose the heat.
It baffles my mind to think about those extremes switching so fast

That's tremendous, I have always felt compelled to pursue knowledge and power in order to contribute to the betterment of humanity. Been seeking a means to be influential and find out more knowledge about the human race and about the things not everyone is destined to know. I wish to fulfill the goal of enlightenment passed down by our forebears.

This is utterly fascinating! I've been learning about Mercury as I focus on Moho in Kerbal Space Program... even with the heavily simplified orbital dynamics in that game, it's very difficult to send a probe there, mostly for the same reasons. I was hoping for an explanation of how Mercury's orbit can be used as a proof for the Theory of Relativity, but the geology and particle physics, as well as MESSENGER's 6-year transit, were every bit as amazing.
I do have one suggestion: one can usually fact-check one's pronunciation of foreign and unfamiliar names through Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons. Unlike Google, they don't rely on auto-generated content.

Thank you for giving credit to Chen-Wan Yen. She doesn't even have a page on Wikipedia yet made the exploration of Mercury possible.
