This topic will contain images & discussion of same as they arrive during the extended download period. Similar threads will be opened in coming months as required as acquired data & discussion proceeds.
-------------------- 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.

Another case where it's so unfortunate that NH wasn't radar equipped like Cassini.
Not that there was any way that was ever going to happen, but still... If you want to know about fine surface texture, you either land or you use radar. But, at least we've got better spectral data coming |
