    It's been an amazing few days for people fascinated by Space - the Russian meteor videos were extraordinary. Now comes this video and map of the surface of Mercury, pulled together from literally thousands of photos from Nasa's Messenger spacecraft. Awesome. http://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/news/article.cfm?c_id=2&objectid=10866115

    A doctor who is part of the campaign against obesity has called on the Government to do more to bring down rising fruit and vegetable prices.
    Fruit and vegetable prices rose by 3.5 per cent in January from December prices, according to Statistics NZ. The doctor wants, at least, GST removed from fruit and vegetables.

    Herald on Sunday relaunch: "Putting people first"
    For picture editor Chris Marriner, selecting the right photograph to go with a story is vital. "It's about the connection that a photogragher makes with the subject, and it's that connection which is imparted to the reader," says Marriner.

    National and Labour agreed at Waitangi on one thing - they're keen on extending the life of governments. What do you think? Should the parliamentary term be increased from three years to four? http://ow.ly/htNyv

    Before Waitangi Day, we're compiling a database of bars, cafes and other establishments that will not be charging customers a 'holiday surcharge' to use their services. The Herald would like businesses from all over NZ to inform our readers of their plans by filling in a simple online form. Click here: http://ow.ly/hh6mx
