Wonderful images! I couldn't resist colorizing the chaos terrain mosaic with some of the MVIC data:

Wow! I wonder if this area was covered by Apollo CSM or Metric Camera photography?

Thanks Jase! Hope you enjoy this one too:

Gennady, those movies are AMAZING! Utterly breathtaking.

This 14-frame, clear-filtered mosaic of Tethys is essentially a tale of two massive impact features, and a long catenae-like chasm.



Odysseus dominates the view at right, while the the left 'horn' of the crescent seems to have a chunk missing: this is Melanthius viewed from a very low angle.

Two views of Enceladus (NAC RGB), the second having been enhanced with prime number tone mapping:

My attempt to correct for the motion of the Moon, in addition to whatever processing caused blue filter signal to leak into the red and green channels:

John, thanks so much for providing a quick explanation!

Are they downlinking selected strips of individual LORRI frames? The official Pluto photomosaic would seem to indicate this is the case:

Oh God! I hate listening to my own voice, let alone watching myself appear on the BBC's flagship tech programme!

Yet here it is, ladies and gents: my appearance on Saturday's edition of 'Click', in which I discuss stumbling across new rings of Saturn, as well as providing a little insight into how I transform raw images of both Saturn and Pluto into (hopefully) eye-catching color composites. Fast forward to 9:12 for the segment in question ....

And yes: I did manage to squeeze in a reference to UMSF that *DID* make the cut

That's 7pm BST for all the Brits out there.

It may not be the best of analogs, but the Plutonian mountains remind me of another celestial location:



Anyone care to guess where this is?

That's awesome, EC!

Magnificent, Justin! Immediately shared on Twitter to show just how good the Voyager data-set is.

Version of the 2x2 mosaic with fisheye distortion removal, to bring out features at the limb:

Very nice, Bjorn!

I thought Emily said that the phase angle on the Hydra image was only 16 degrees .... ?

My rough and ready processing of the Charon raw frame from the 13th. Colorized with the MVIC false color release:

I think Charon's going to be the biggest surprise from this flyby. I may be wrong, but perhaps we're looking at an icy version of Io here.

Using one of Phil's old tricks to turn a circular planetary limb into a straight line, we can see more clearly the various lumps and bumps on Pluto and Charon seen edge-on:

Made by UMSF's very own Dr. Paul Schenk!

With my grateful thanks to Tanya and Emily of The Planetary Society, my new guest blog entry gives the low-down on how I assembled this sequence last year, over the course of just one week:

As much as I want to believe in neon lakes, I reckon that this is the most likely cause of these features:
