I've been wondering what the focal lengths are for the two New Horizon cameras (Ralph and Lorri). Curious to know how much Alan et al. were able to squeeze into their weight budget.

That's the rub. Small bodies tend to have vanishingly small color variations and it's very easy to go from noisy but usable data to unusable data on small scale features. While overall color or spectral properties tell you about bulk composition, variations tell about chemical variations, or to a lesser extent physical property variations...they tell you about processes that made the surface, distinct from what you're told by feature morphology. |
