A human-like figure has been spotted on the surface of Mercury by the orbiting Messenger spacecraft - and scientists point out a startling resemblance to the frozen Han Solo in Return of the Jedi.
“A portion of the terrain surrounding the northern margin of the Caloris basin hosts an elevated block in the shape of a certain carbonite-encased smuggler who can make the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs,” the scientists say.
The image was captured by the orbiting Messenger probe in July 2011, and released this week. The image is named “He will not be permanently damaged”, a quote from Darth Vader in The Empire Strikes Back.
