Magnetic measurements from Mariner 10's final close encounter confirm Mercury's internally generated field and magnetospheric structure.
MESSENGER observes an unusually dynamic Mercury magnetosphere driven strongly by changing solar-wind conditions.
Orbital measurements show that Mercury's magnetic field is strongly offset northward along the planet's rotation axis.
