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.

Methane ice dunes on Pluto
http://science.sciencemag.org/content/360/6392/992 I've been searching for estimates of the surface area extent of the dunes and their heights, as I'd like to compare to the dune coverage on Venus, Earth, Mars, and Titan. Does anyone have that information or want to take a guess? Also, this discovery makes me even more eager to see Triton in higher resolution... |

Will E-ELT be able to resolve the chevrons on Miranda, geysers on Triton, etc? |
