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.

The left image of PIA20151 may be from an unreleased MVIC:

In case anyone missed it:
QUOTE Now from @AlanStern: models indicate Pluto's atmospheric pressure is currently atypically low - can reach high enough for liquid nitrogen! QUOTE Extremes in atmosphere model can have surface pressures substantially exceeding those of Mars! QUOTE This might provide an avenue for understanding some of the features on Pluto's surface as created by flowing liquid. How wild is that? https://twitter.com/Alex_Parker/status/711966613499580417 QUOTE Rick Binzel, New Horizons: Last time Pluto may have had climate extreme allowing liquid nitrogen on surface was <1 million yrs ago https://twitter.com/StephenClark1/status/711970940691689472 The left image of PIA20151 may be from an unreleased MVIC: http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA20151 In any case, I don't recall that part of Sputnik showing up in LORRI imagery. I guess this "angry face" image is also part of an unpublished MVIC panorama: https://twitter.com/cosmoquestX/status/712374337701949440 -------------------- |
