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? |

Stu,
Check out the screenshot I've culled from the following animation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFCrvvn57AM The Caloris basin (or half of it) is visible inside the green circle. Messenger will have a good look at it on the outbound leg of the encounter. Ian -------------------- |
