Pluto has a yellow-orange what..? Ahh, that explains it. We're seeing tribal villages, and the movements on the surface correspond to migration patterns, perhaps due to a nomadic way of life. -------------------- -- Hungry4info (Sirius_Alpha)

About 70 days out. Appreciate that very much. Is the correlation between resolution and magnitude similar? In other words, is the NH camera capable of exposure times and sensitivity to see objects as faint as Hubble from 70 days out? Maybe there are other satellites besides Nix and Hydra, perhaps larger, but much darker . . . . . |
