Thanks, Alan. Here's hoping for one more KBO encounter!

Nice to hear of the capabilities of the Subaru telescope. Is there any chance of the Vera Rubin (LSST) telescope starting to come online in a useful way for NH in the next couple of years?

New PI Perspective gives details on the continuing search for a second flyby:
http://pluto.jhuapl.edu/News-Center/PI-Per...tive_03_23_2021 Also this teasing hint "And note that in mid-April, we'll have a news release, with some very special images we've taken from our perch so far away in the Kuiper Belt, so keep an eye out for that!" I have some educated guesses about what these might be.... |
