2019 flyby of 145 Adeona with departure later this year! biggrin.gif

MOD NOTE: At this time it appears that no official announcement concerning future targets for Dawn has been made by NASA. Therefore, any posts concerning that are, for now, completely speculative.

A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

I did think it strange that there were just 'xx' in the spaces in the last paragraph where Rayman posts the statistics for the month (like it was incomplete). Looks like his journal was a bit ahead of the curve. Maybe they're preparing a special announcement?

Dawn will remain at Ceres.

Nope. NASA chose the option to keep Dawn at Ceres.

Aha they did indeed choose to continue to monitor Ceres as long as possible. A bit surprising, but as this paragraph stated, there is a possibility that Ceres might come up with some additional surprise as it get a bit of balmy summer weather. wink.gif
“The long-term monitoring of Ceres, particularly as it gets closer to perihelion – the part of its orbit with the shortest distance to the sun -- has the potential to provide more significant science discoveries than a flyby of Adeona.”

....and the same text mention that New Horizons extended mission have been approved. smile.gif

crosseye taken from releases 113 and 131, centering on a small light spot to the right of the main Occator dome area.
Now that we are staying (perpetually in LAMO?), it will be interesting to monitor if changes occur in this area and otherwhere.

It's interesting to note that the Galilean moons Ganymede and Callisto also show clay minerals on the surface like Ceres. Can anyone elaborate on this?
