Planet Mercury: Facts about the planet closest to the sun

[Catastrophe]

sam85geo, I don't know what to recommend. Perhaps others can comment. I suppose it must be post 2006. Pluto has got to be Dwarf Planet. It depends on whether you want beautiful photographs, or up to the minute news. I go for the former, but, of course, you want up to date beautiful photographs.
I must say, that I go for the former, with Wiki etcetera to supply the up to date stuff. Let's face it, any book you buy now is lucky to be after 2019 content. That is just my opinion - I could be wrong.

Thanks Cat: My current Astronomy text is "Universe", 6th edition, by Wm. J. Kaufmann, III, via a college bookstore old book clearance sale. This time around I'll splurge, but within reason.

You might enjoy an older book, but comprehensive, author's Bally and Reipurth...

Birth of Stars...

Also, there are still The Star Formation Newsletters that was always an enjoyable source of info. [Here ]

Thank you; I'll take a look. I now realize that a lot has happened since my current book "Universe", sixth edition was published and I picked it up a a old book sale.

Yep. That's why Space.com is important to getting the news out to us, and allows us to converse about it.
