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? |

To me the big crater in the lower right side, with a string of minor craters on either side, make me think that this is what Shoemaker-Levy would have looked like, if it had hit a solid surface. Am I completely off on that assumption? |
