As you can see, it doesn't really cover any lands we haven't seen before.. Maybe not, but it will give us a chance to see some familiar territory from a different lighting angle. This will also be the case during the three remaining 2-million-kilometre flybys (around Feb 11th, Apr 15 and Jul 5) before the close-up view a year from now. I think it's during the February encounter that we will see sunrise on "Snowman" over the course of several days -- instead of sunset, which has usually been the case. That should be of some significance for people who are interested in the "moat" (even though, at that distance, we'll hardly be able to see any detail). |
