If the dates covered in that post are the dates the data was acquired, I strongly doubt the upcoming press conference is related to it. One week is just not enough time to interpret the spectra obtained and organize them into spectral classes, IMHO. I'm with Dan on this. Based on Mike Brown's tweet, I would also expect improved knowledge of the distribution of methane ices on the surfaces of Pluto and Charon.

If the dates covered in that post are the dates the data was acquired, I strongly doubt the upcoming press conference is related to it. I was wondering about that, too. Almost immediate. But there was surprisingly nothing earlier. Different keywords might help. |
