Today a member of the camera science team put up the first images of the comet on his office door. So the camera works. He said on the image is M107 and the comet could this be?

Given the processing & enhancement done to these images & their size in pixels, is the resolution sufficient yet to determine if the albedo differences Dilo noted are real? For example, the bright 'ring' at the lobe contact point in particular sure looks like it might be specular; maybe the rest of the surface appears just as bright from the right illumination angles.
-------------------- 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.
