The document builds on the academies' decadal survey, outlining recommended missions for NASA's next New Frontiers program.

Mercury has a rocky surface when, facing the sun, can reach highs of 800 degrees while overnight lows could reach minus 290 degrees, according to the space agency. Venus holds the crown of the hottest planet in the solar system, at 900 degrees.

A pair of extraordinary space missions that have been headed out of the solar system for almost half a century are getting a new lease on life as NASA engineers order the Voyager 1 and 2 deep-space probes to shut down two instruments to save power.
