Wow, the Keck image really shows some interesting structure in the infrared. Almost looks like two discrete impacts.

Wow, the Keck image really shows some interesting structure in the infrared. Almost looks like two discrete impacts. I'm not sure- notice that the "cusp" of the bright south polar hood also looks doubled. I think this might be a seeing artifact or a hiccup in the AO system, if they were using AO. John. |
