i wandered about charonshine on pluto and
i watched this animation of the flyby and according to it there should be a good chunk of charonshine on the farside lighting up mapped parts and unmapped parts of the southern hemisphere in this image https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/comm...cklit_Pluto.jpg here is a pic from the animation showing potential charonshine on pluto can anyone like ted pull real charonshine from any of the pluto images, because theoretically there was a huge hunk of it visible during the flyby and i want to add it to known map coverage here is a whole gallery of raw pluto images for anyone to attempt charonshine extraction http://pluto.jhuapl.edu/soc/Pluto-Encounte...Date&page=9 |
