Mercury as seen by Messenger on January 14, 2008, from about 17,000 miles away. Might this inner-solar-system body someday destroy all life on Earth? Perhaps
Personally, I blame Henri Poincaré. Typical French trouble maker. Off to bed. See you in the morning.

Mercury will suffer generally one of four fates: it crashes into the Sun, gets ejected from the solar system, it crashes into Venus, or — worst of all — crashes into Earth Mercury's fate is not Hermetically sealed...

Good news is if you change the type of car you drive, buy new toxic lightbulbs, and forgo any further use of toilet paper, the world AS WE KNOW IT can remain Mercury-impact free IN OUR LIFETIME!!!

Says Laughlin, "The solar system isn't as stable as we'd thought." Both teams have found that Jupiter's gravity can increase Mercury's orbital eccentricity over time. Mercury's path around the Sun is already nearly as elliptical as Pluto's. But Jupiter can make Mercury's orbit so out of round that it overlaps the path of Venus. A close encounter between them could send the innermost planet careening off wildly. If AlGore is to be proclaimed our true God, can we all be saved from this cataclysmic event if we worship him enough?
