Studies show prepared by the Messenger spacecraft that smaller planets in the solar system has become smaller and shrink more than ever before.
The images shown are from low altitude to the planet Mercury last January that Qatar shrinking planet more than 1.5 kilometres since be.
According to the study published by the journal "Science", the scientists believe that due to the shrinkage of the planet slow cooling process is going through, pointing out that this also affects the planet's magnetic field.
He said the scientist and principal investigator at the Carnegie Institute in Washington that the process of cooling, which underwent a planet did not affect the magnetic field, but also resulted in shrinkage of the entire planet.
The first probe Messenger spacecraft flew over the closest planet to the sun since in 1975
