Transient Phenomena of Mercury
The similarity of Mercury to the Moon raises the question on mercurian analogues of lunar transient phenomena. However, since the mid-1960s, this topic has remained out of attention. Nevertheless, the discoveries of the 21st century and the BepiColombo mission give hope for the registration of Mercury transient phenomena. In this regard, it is shown that there are forgotten earth-based observations of anomalous phenomena on Mercury, which now fit into modern knowledge about this planet. Therefore, ALPO could contribute to this mysterious aspect of space exploration.
