This will be where we talk about the data as it arrives over the next 20 months or so.
-------------------- 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.

New Horizons is in solar conjunction, I think new data will be arriving next week
http://www.planetary.org/multimedia/space-...w-horizons.html https://spacenews.com/new-horizons-complete...f-ultima-thule/ QUOTE The science team will work with those data this week, then take a break next week when the spacecraft is in solar conjunction, with the sun blocking communications with the spacecraft. The science team will reconvene around Jan. 15, Stern said, after communications resume.
