There is an occulation on Sept 27 that someone thinks might prove that Pluto has rings.

Quite right (of course) Alan - I was really intending to respond to the comment by LivingNDixie: " There is an occultation on Sept 27 that someone thinks might prove that Pluto has rings. " - the occultation observations aren't 'to prove Pluto has rings' but to see if any can be detected.
tasp - they wouldn't be inside the atmosphere. It would be more like dust eroded by impacts off the small inner moons. People have suggested the same for Mars. Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.
