This topic is for all New Horizons Pluto surface observations received after 1 Feb 2016.
-------------------- 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.

That missing P_MVIC_LORRI_CA_L1 frame (the "snail") was finally put up on SOC. http://pluto.jhuapl.edu/soc/Pluto-Encounte...0x636_sci_5.jpg
By the way, I am still keeping that LORRI-frames-by-publish-date index site up to date. |

That missing P_MVIC_LORRI_CA_L1 frame (the "snail") was finally put up on SOC. Thank you Herobrine for the heads up on that image. It might have been someone who wanted to write a paper about what it might be. Looking at it for a while I started to wonder if it is some sort of cracks in the brighter material on the surface, revealing a darker patch below. The lines suggest something such, but then again, this is the only image we'll ever see at this resolution so perhaps it might remain one unsolved little strange feature. |
