JHUAPL MESSENGER Gallery

Nothing new there, just the 5 inbound images taken the days before closest approach.

The events schedule has some departure images and movies being made in the current timeframe.

Nothing to see until the data begins to be downlinked.

From Planetary Society Weblog: Science Timeline for Monday's MESSENGER flyby of Mercury

Quote:
Selected images have been marked for early playback. Likely candidates include inbound and outbound wide-angle camera images that encompass all of Mercury in a single frame, providing the context images for all of the higher-resolution shots.
Begin data playback
October 6 22:43 PDT, Monday

Edit, later: Planetary Society Weblog: MESSENGER flyby: Radio signals indicate all went well
