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.

Herobrine - thanks for the comprehensive reply. I can't see Charon in the ones I've looked at carefully.
alan - thanks for the interesting quote. I'd like to know what lies behind the speculation about timescales. Is the hundred-ish year estimate a presumption that these are seasonal phenomena? |

The hundred year estimate is based on how long it takes for the features to fade in simulations.
