40 days and counting. The long wait is almost over!
I wonder whether we will get enough data to test new simulation theories like this one. http://space.newscientist.com/article/mg19...solar-wind.html What do you expect from this first flyby? |

Didn't forget; actually, never knew. Bummer.
-------------------- 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.

Didn't forget; actually, never knew. Bummer. Dont despair, I believe they will post the raw images in the same way they did with New Horizons. It may take time though. However, if they dont release the raw images....... well, at least we will enjoy the flyby itself. :-) -------------------- |
