I would dearly love to see some 10m resolution (or better!) NAC photos of the hottest areas of those tiger stripes, along with the WAC context shots. I know they plan some high resolution views in the next flyby, but I haven't yet read just how high the resolution will be. Hope their plans for the next flyby work. The 15 year night cometh soon.

I would dearly love to see some 10m resolution (or better!) NAC photos of the hottest areas of those tiger stripes... My thoughts exactly. I strongly suspect that the emission areas are very localized, extremely narrow, and MUCH warmer than their immediate surroundings, which are presumably experiencing secondary heating... the actual vents have temps certainly exceeding 273 deg K. -------------------- 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.
