This thread is for discussion of NH Pluto surface observations received after 10 Oct 2015.
-------------------- 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.

Very well put. Our current visits to minor planets-- Ceres, Charon and Pluto-- will necessitate what can and cannot happen with or without sensible atmospheres and the processes of geologic activity. Even the visit to a cometary body has been an eye-opener.
