Hi,
I’m regular follower of NH and I’m also interested in the 2nd leg of the mission, i.e the 2016+ KBOs encounters. Does anyone know when operations about this leg (starting with searching objects of interest with HST or some other earth-based means, I suppose) are expected to begin ? |

Maybe we need a rather nearby supernova to provide the flash? Unsure though if a potential one like Betelgeuse would be bright enough.

We may have reached our observation limitations....unless a large Ceres size body exists out that far with a degree or two of NH path, I just don't see it happening. |
