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? |

Hey have a good break Stu.
Regarding the idea of a Messenger only map, I was able to set up a separate procedure to do this. This makes it a bit easier as I can leave my regular Mercury mapping procedure intact while working on the Messenger only map. So - here it is... If I have my longitudes straight it's centered on 180 degrees. Steve |

Regarding the idea of a Messenger only map, I was able to set up a separate procedure to do this... This was exactly what I was hoping to see, Steve. Thanks. Makes it very clear how much of Mercury MESSENGER was able to see this time, and also how even though MESSENGER "saw" that near-limb stuff, it was foreshortened.--Emily -------------------- My website - My Patreon - @elakdawalla on Twitter - Please support unmannedspaceflight.com by donating here.
