Good morning,
What's the most realistic color image of Pluto as appears to the human eye?..Many ThanKS
edit: I have a Questions..
the diagram score (P.H.Index) of Pluto is 22% complete..
as it would be the diagram score of Pluto today after New Horizon images?

This post that I wrote in the previous thread might give you an answer:
http://www.unmannedspaceflight.com/index.php?s=&showtopic=8071&view=findpost&p=227266
There is a true color image with data from RALPH and the higher resolution mosaics colorized using lower resolution true-color data by a kind amateur:

It is beautful, the 8K mosaic is now my desktop background. Official RALPH + MVIC hi-res mosaic will come later.

Before today's LORRI release I was starting to think that Pluto couldn't get much more weird-looking than it already was - it already looked strange enough. I love to admit that I was wrong.
Posted by: Gladstoner Oct 16 2015, 08:02 PM
I assume the blank/noisy LORRI image releases from 11:22:02 to 11:22:36 are part of the high-res strip. Are they a portion taken beyond Pluto's limb, or is something else going on?

ETA: Sublimation pits and crevasses?

Wow. Amazing pattern. My first take was mounds, but checking the lighting elsewhere in the picture, you're right, those are pits. But that pattern.. just wow.
How big are those pits?
More confirmation that the level of pitting in the "convection cells" appears to be higher near the edges than in the middle, backing up the convection concept (as the edges would be the oldest).
Just wow.
Posted by: Gladstoner Oct 16 2015, 11:29 PM
I can understand regularly spaced pits and rows of pits, but how in the world can there be pits occurring in pairs?

Posted by: Pluto7904 Oct 17 2015, 12:12 AM
I was wondering that too. I thought maybe they were the images they were going to take on the dark side 'by Charon-light'. However it looks like there are stars. Maybe images taken to search for more moons?
Posted by: Bjorn Jonsson Oct 17 2015, 12:53 AM
These images may have been taken to ensure that Pluto's limb is covered in case of inaccurate pointing and/or slightly different flyby geometry from what was planned.
Posted by: machi Oct 17 2015, 01:17 AM
Yes, they shows dark space (with some luck few RAWs could show atmosphere).
There are still at least 7 images missing in the sequence (P_MPAN_1) which contains Pluto's surface (11:22:38 - 11:22:50).

What was the resolution on the latest high res strip?
Posted by: HSchirmer Oct 17 2015, 11:45 AM

I suspect those are actually dunes, with dark material on the sunlit side, and bright frost on the shady side.
Shading does weird things to human vision-
Take a look at the dune fields around Saudi Arabia / Kuait https://www.google.com/maps/@22.4119038,50.4721622,3013m/data=!3m1!1e3
What do you think you see?
Mesas and buttes in a field of saw-toothed ridges, or areas of open rock in a field of dunes?
|
Posted by: machi Oct 17 2015, 12:10 PM
Pits are much more plausible explanation.
On majority of mountains and craters dark material is almost always on the shady side. It's unlikely that this would be different for plains.
It's also very difficult to explains existence of dunes on the body with such low atmospheric pressure.
We will see pretty soon what's correct as we can expect high resolution stereo data for those regions.
~120 meters per pixel.
Posted by: Gladstoner Oct 17 2015, 02:49 PM
I suspect the size, form, orientation, and clustering of the pits have to do with the structure, fabric, and/or composition (two or more types of more-or-less immiscible ices?) of the Sputnik material itself.
Posted by: Saturns Moon Titan Oct 17 2015, 04:47 PM
Are these the highest resolution images of Pluto we're going to get then?
Posted by: stfletch Oct 17 2015, 04:55 PM
Nope, we should get two strips which are about 70-80m per pixel, one from just before closest approach and one from just after.
Posted by: Gladstoner Oct 17 2015, 05:10 PM
Do we know (or can we estimate) the area of coverage of the 70-80/pixel strips?
Posted by: volcanopele Oct 17 2015, 05:32 PM
Here was the predict for the pre-C/A strip

Thanks. I've seen that before but was unable to relocate it.
I was hoping they captured some of the terrain to the east of the recently released strip. The interaction of smooth and rough terrain here is beyond intriguing.

Posted by: tanjent Oct 17 2015, 09:14 PM
I am puzzled why they did not stop when they reached the terminator.
Uncertainty in the pointing probably didn't exceed the four frames of empty space captured on either side of the (dwarf) planet.
Posted by: djellison Oct 17 2015, 09:54 PM
It did. Not uncertainty in the pointing, exactly - but uncertainty in the location of Pluto along the track of the spacecraft.
Posted by: tedstryk Oct 18 2015, 12:18 PM
Yeah, uncertainty was quite large. Better be safe than sorry.

https://twitter.com/DrPhiltill/status/655471856980467716 by Phil Metzger between clouds on Earth and ices on Sputnik. Especially the right image there (and other parts of the most recent mosaic) suggest how topography under Sputnik might affect what the surface looks like.
Posted by: Gladstoner Oct 18 2015, 04:03 PM
And I thought the 'frozen clouds' in the movie 'Interstellar' were far-fetched. Pluto seems to have an answer for everything.
Posted by: Bill Harris Oct 18 2015, 11:26 PM
Not really. Aeolian processes on the Pluto system are easier to explain than dust ripples on the surface of Comet 67P/C-G, which has little sensible atmosphere and very low gravity. These are strange worlds and strange times with so many phenomena in search of explanation.

Updated file tracking received and expected LORRI and RALPH images...
Posted by: HSchirmer Oct 20 2015, 11:04 AM
Well, here's sort-of-the-opposite, in some parts of antartica the icy surface just disappears into the wind...
http://www.earth.columbia.edu/articles/view/3263
So Pluto topography might cause chinook winds, adiabatic downslope winds, known as snow-eaters....

Looks like stereo imaging is starting to be assembled. https://www.nasa.gov/image-feature/pluto-in-3-d
Below is a flicker animation for those without glasses.

I might do a tween on this to see if it reveals anything but I don't expect that it would. Differences are pretty small.
Nonetheless, and if feels cliche and beaten to death to say, but if Pluto couldn't get more bizarre, those craters are fantastically deep bowl shapes.
Posted by: fredk Oct 22 2015, 09:25 PM
It's impossible to know how deep the craters are without knowing the difference in viewpoints between the two frames. This is a well-known feature of anaglyphs - the apparent depth of features depends on how far apart the two frames were taken. (And also on factors such as how close you are to the computer display when you view it.)
It looks like the frames have been geometrically distorted so that they match over most of the surface, ie so that most of the surface appears flat in the stereo views. You should look at the original frames to get a sense of how far apart they were taken (or better, calculate it based on the metadata). That would allow you to actually measure the depths of the craters.
Posted by: ZLD Oct 22 2015, 09:27 PM
I was going by visual appearance along with the reported 'up to 1.3 miles (2.1 km) deep', according to the article I linked.
Posted by: ngunn Oct 22 2015, 10:01 PM
It's always difficult to say when viewing an anaglyph how much it exaggerates the vertical dimension, but I think it is true to say these craters reach their full depth remarkably close to their rims. They are more like cylindrical pits than bowls. I don't doubt they started off as normal impact craters but something - perhaps preferential mass wasting of the deeper layers - has modified their shape.
Pluto is a world that is eroding away the whole time. Old surface will aquire a protective husk but anything newly exposed will be particularly vulnerable to mass wasting.

It was a simple observation that was based not on the anaglyph, but the flicker animation which works much better for viewing visible differences, for me at least.
Heres a very small crop of the tween I'm working on.
It may just be due to strange geometric distortions introduced as suggested, but if not, there would seem to be a pretty large amount of relief here. The crater at the lower right, also moves and behaves as if it was fairly bowl-like in shape.

I had great expectations associated with observations set identified as P_LEISA_HIRES (23 images made from range about 56000 km). These three images confirmed that expectations were justified. It would be expected that the exposure time for this observation set will be less than 150 milliseconds, but significantly longer than 10 milliseconds. Images captured with the exposure time 50 msec are excellent. I will be impatiently wait for the remaining twenty images. Probably we will have to wait at least three weeks.

A totally alien place.

Almost I missed it. Today's images taken from a distance of 1.7 million km fill the time gap between 2015-07-12 8:46 (distance 2.5 Mi km) and 2015-07-13 16:17 (distance 1.0 Mi km). We can see a lot of new details on reverse side of Pluto, including several craters (previously unseen due to the distance, later hidden behind the edge of the planet). Not seen before !

Their sporadic occurrence makes me think outgassing/venting, though evaporation due to local heating would be even more interesting.
Of course, though, Pluto has shown us that features visible near the limits of resolution can be quite deceiving.

If I get a chance, I'll post a colorized version of this. I've already played with it a bit and it does help differentiate the terrain better in some places.
I viewed both the anaglyph and the flicker animation for a long while before I went ahead with doing this morph. I went into it expecting little more to be revealed but I don't think either of the previously mentioned fully capture how intensely broken this landscape must be.
One area I find particularly interesting is in the upper right corner. It could just be me seeing things but It would almost seem as if at some point in the past, the darkest patches were some sort of liquid and the fractured terrain has lead to some sort of system of waterliquidfalls.

Posted by: MichaelPoole Oct 25 2015, 10:29 AM
Why not water? This area is poor in nitrogen, methane and CO2 ice and exposed water ice signatures were detected nearby https://www.nasa.gov/nh/nh-finds-blue-skies-and-water-ice-on-pluto . A volcanic eruption or an impact could have melted and evaporated enough water ice to temporarily make the conditions for liquid water possible, or at least a briny ammonia-water or salty "cryolava". If ammonia-water cryolava flowed on Ariel then it can flow on Pluto.
Posted by: ZLD Oct 25 2015, 01:34 PM
Well, I wouldn't suggest water as a first possibility. There's a lot of factors that would make that scenario relatively unlikely but you can't rule it out at 0% chance.
Posted by: MichaelPoole Oct 25 2015, 10:13 PM
And what would those factors be? IIRC ammonia-water volcanism created a lot of landforms on the more active of Uranian moons. Pluto's crust is mostly water ice and an impact or volcanic activity can easily evaporate/melt it.
Posted by: JohnVV Oct 26 2015, 07:09 AM
the surface coloring makes using SFS a bit " fun"
With what looks like ice frost on rims and the light and dark areas this is basically a mess

The latest LORRI images are really awesome (didn't get a proper look at them until now). I look forward to when we get the LEISA_HIRES images of this depression (reminiscent of http://www.unmannedspaceflight.com/index.php?s=&showtopic=8071&view=findpost&p=226686, image 2):
Note how it appears to have erased part of the crater at the top.
(the eye of Pluto aka Elliot Crater will be interesting to get a closer look at, too - if the image track doesn't miss it)

That certainly has a very similar appearance! Its difficult to rectify the lack of energy currently at Pluto still.
There was a blog post a little while back that confirmed that the red channel is IR, green channel RED (though I think slightly back mixed with red probably) and blue channel BLUE. In the full global MVIC shot, this area is heavily covered with very red patches, meaning they are highly IR reflective. So if we dump the luminance from the IR data, the dark patches we see in the LORRI shots stay dark and they look more lake-like (dried of course). Maybe Pluto really did have a much more energetic past with a much more substantial atmosphere.

Two follow ups - First, something interesting if you compare the above lorri mosaic to the full disk image-
The plains about 1/3 of the way up the image, between the large impact crater and hummock terrain, are dull grey in lorri, but bright and shiny in the full disk image. There does seem to be a definite "glossly" or clear-coat quality to some areas on Pluto. Depending on the sun angle, they can appear much brighter then they actually are.
Also, it appears that Titan's atmosphere may alternate between thick greenhouse effect with surface lakes, then thin where the atmosphere would be frozen out. IIRC, NASA press releases mentioned that Charon's red polar cap could be due to tholins from Pluto's distended atmosphere, so it's conceivable that Pluto has eras where there's a significant atmosphere. Doesn't have to happen often, but if orbital periods could create a temporary Snowball earth, they might create a temporary slushball Pluto.
Posted by: ZLD Oct 28 2015, 04:05 PM
I don't want to get too speculative or off topic here but I've postulated previously that the increase in atmospheric pressure that was suspected to be occurring since the late 80s, may be explained by a much denser atmosphere clinging to the surface, quickly ascending / expanding away from the surface, and would have tainted the occultation readings by placing more mass at observable altitudes over time. Features on the surface certainly look fresh, when compared to pretty much every other body in the solar system, save for Earth. Theres plenty of other areas that clearly have liquid or semi-liquid substances moving.
Here's another version of the global MVIC image. In this, I've dumped the 'green' and blue luminance channels and overlaid the color channel from the deep color enhancement global view I posted previously, leaving essentially a colorized IR view of the globe. I also further enhanced the contrast of the luminance layer to bring out some details thats aren't typically visible. The color channel was also reduced to 66%.

Here is the deep color enhancement once again.

Was the new full MVIC crescent image rotated 3 degrees prior to being published, or is the striping/banding artefact (mostly removed in this version) not aligned with the sensor?
I also notice there was a slight change in scale between this release and the earlier one. This one appears about 0.13% smaller (about 4.5 pixels out of every 3000).
Also, @ZLD That new version of the stretched color image is fantastic. 
Posted by: john_s Oct 29 2015, 11:14 PM
This new image is in its original orientation, so yes, the residual electronic noise is tilted relative to the image rows and columns. Also, the first-released version of the image was rotated slightly to make the horizon horizontal near the skyline mountains, for maximum scenic effect.

I have just read a part about Io in the book "Vzdálené světy I" (Distant Worlds I) by Tomáš Petrásek and Igor Duszek from 2009. This book is focused on the Jovian moons, and the chapters on Io contain some really interesting pictures and information on Io, with many references. Apparently, in a lot of places, Io is covered by sulfur dioxide snow spewed by volcanoes that also cause the signature otherworldy blue colors that we see on pictures of Io's, and a lot of those plumes are probably caused by underground deposits of sulfur dioxide (hidden just few tens or hundreds of meters below the surface and occasionally flowing up like hot springs on Earth) being boiled when lava flows into them. Some calderas on Io also display frozen SO2 that resulted from them being filled by liquid SO2 from underground springs that subsequently froze. It also had some very nice pictures of Ionian mountains, no, not volcanoes, mountains caused by tectonic activity made of rock.
Mountains like this:

There is also this close-up picture of Io that strangely reminds me of Pluto's "snakeskin terrain". I couldn't find it on the Internet so I photographed it from the book by my smartphone, hope this meets fair use guidelines:

The scale is a lot closer that the snakeskin terrain, but still...
What is the relevance of this to Pluto you might say? Well, for one, the absence of a dense atmosphere does not mean the absence of liquids. Regional, small, liquid deposits can exists underground in a shallow depth. Io's atmosphere is about 1000x thinner than Pluto. It does not require for it to be a relic of a past "dense atmosphere epoch" either, as these deposits can arise by normal volcanic acitivity. Liquids leaking on the surface might freeze and boil, creating weird formations. The book also mentions that the present epoch of Io's hyperactivity might not be permanent and it might swing into and out of cycles of hyperactivity and saner volcanic acitivity. Just because there are no obvious active geysers on the side of Pluto that New Horizons imaged in high resolution does not mean it is not presently geologically active, if we count the time of the close flyby as being the time when the probe was 768 000 km or closer to Pluto (time when it took the iconic "heart" photo https://www.nasa.gov/image-feature/pluto-is-dominated-by-the-feature-informally-named-the-heart), the close flyby took just below 15 hours or less than a single day. If your flyby of Earth was that short, odds are there wouldn't be any obvious active volcanos visible at a given side of the Earth. I live in a country (Slovakia) that had the last volcanic activity occuring 100 000 years ago, yet it would be silly to call Slovakia "geologically inactive" terrain. So my money is on Pluto being active right now, we've seen "remnants of cryovolcanism" on Ariel and this is definitely something entirely different.
Some violent sublimation might also occur, as apparently, it is not just the eliptical orbit that changes Pluto's temperature but the extreme axial tilt might play an even bigger role. Apparently, the summer temperatures can go into 70s in the Kelvin scale and the melting point of nitrogen is 63.15 Kelvin, which is also the boiling point in such a thin atmosphere, so the sublimation is less "slow drying over millions of years" like on Callisto and more flash boling of ice:

Very well put. Our current visits to minor planets-- Ceres, Charon and Pluto-- will necessitate what can and cannot happen with or without sensible atmospheres and the processes of geologic activity. Even the visit to a cometary body has been an eye-opener.

Looks like the http://pluto.jhuapl.edu/soc/Pluto-Encounter/index.php?order=downlinkDate&page=1 have been posted. Lots of low sun incidence shots.

The images of Pluto from 0.7 km must be the Charonshine images. IIRC there were to 720 of them.

Unfortunately, it seems there is no night-side images of Pluto with exposure 400 ms. Only stars in fame.
It is a so pity! I was hoping for these pictures ...

In regards to the latest images:
@elakdawalla I think those are both the scattered light characterization images (the ones that say PLUTO but have nothing in the frame).
... and then the ones that say CHARON are the high phase charon images. Can see a wee crescent.

So these are the Charon images which when processed should show the night side of Charon illuminated by Pluto-shine, right?
Posted by: ZLD Oct 30 2015, 07:00 PM
Yes but the compressed versions we have probably won't contain enough data to pull much out. Probably have to wait until they release an official version.

It's part of bigger mosaic (720 images in total) and I think that main reason for this deep mosaic was searching for rings.
In the first 90 images there aren't rings, only stars (at least in compressed jpegs).

If I may ask a bit off topic, what is the New Horizons image release policy? Are there any embargoes like the ESA's Rosseta mission? Does NASA have any embargos at all? I see conflicting information on the web.
Posted by: Bill Harris Nov 2 2015, 02:12 PM
NH, and NASA in general, has a good image use policy, which is typically listed at the bottom of the Image/Gallery Page. They do not bogart their pics as some do.

http://www.planetary.org/blogs/emily-lakdawalla/2015/07181721-new-horizons-awaiting-the-data.html. TL;DR: Policies differ from mission to mission. New Horizons releases a few captioned images on Thursdays and all raw images downlinked (as of end of business Tuesday) on Fridays.
Posted by: Saturns Moon Titan Nov 6 2015, 08:43 PM
A lot of images have been released of Pluto's night side on the LORRI page. Charonshine imaging?
http://pluto.jhuapl.edu/soc/Pluto-Encounter/index.php?order=downlinkDate&page=1
Posted by: JRehling Nov 6 2015, 09:11 PM
At the time those images were taken (July 15, ~1:50 UTC), half of Pluto's night side was visible from Charon; the other half was not. So if there is something to see there, we should see that one side of the dark disc is lit with a gradation towards total darkness on the other half.
As the attached text notes, the Sun is not too far from the direction of the camera. That is a problematic factor: If NH had a view of Pluto's entire dark side, and Charon were illuminating the entire dark side, then the Sun would be right in the line of sight. When you add in that Pluto's atmosphere is scattering light, the signal:noise for Charonshine images may be unfavorable. The atmosphere was not a problem with, e.g., Saturn and Iapetus.
Posted by: ngunn Nov 6 2015, 09:54 PM
You can really see there how extremely tall Pluto's atmosphere is. I went to look on NASA's Pluto factsheet and the scale height is 60 km apparently.
Posted by: Gladstoner Nov 6 2015, 10:41 PM
Could there be detail lurking in the uncompressed versions of these back-lit images? After all, night-side terrain is distinctly visible in the LORRI image here: http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA19931 , even though the released 'raws' show little or no hint of it.
Posted by: scalbers Nov 6 2015, 10:55 PM
We may have differing situations here. It's good we can see terrain from twilight illumination at a low phase angle. It would be more difficult to see this scene from a high phase angle, considering either twilight illumination or Charonshine.
Farther onto the night side it still might be possible to see some terrain via Charonshine, though the highest amount of Charonshine was still close to the limb IIRC.
Posted by: Bjorn Jonsson Nov 7 2015, 12:30 AM
Scattered light and illumination from Plutos's sky (atmosphere) is probably also a significant factor on Pluto's nightside near the terminator (there's a twilight area there).
After taking a quick look at these new JPGs I don't think the individual images show any details on Pluto's nightside but stacking might reveal some details. In contrast, individual, original 16 bit images might very well contain subtle details.

If so, there's something pretty bright in there... It's in all the frames.
Posted by: fred_76 Nov 7 2015, 08:24 AM
Some very very faint traces of the night side of Pluto when registering and adding all the last Pluto's images illuminated by Charon. This is fairly difficult to notice anything but as about 180 images have been processed, the S/N ratio is quite good, so these traces should not be artifacts.

Any chance it might be one of the inner planets (by which I mean anything interior of Pluto)? Maybe I'm just impatient for the family portrait still being a few years away....

Definitely getting some features here Fred. Good work!
Edit: Looking at the positions within the system, I actually think this may be mostly scattered light rather than Charon-shine.
I tried enhancing the contrast a little more here as well.

Posted by: fredk Nov 7 2015, 04:39 PM
Thanks a lot, Fred. Could you explain what you did? In addition to registering on the crescent of Pluto, did you attempt to remove the obvious scattered light that's mainly around the centre of each frame? As you go through the 180-odd frames, the crescent shifts around but the scattered light stays pretty much at a fixed position in the frames. But the positions scanned by the crescent aren't very uniform, so if you just average all the frames after registering you'd expect to see brighter and darker patches on the dark side due to the averaging of the scattered light. In particular, the lower-right part of the dark side never really gets into the scattered light, so that might explain why the lower-right part of the dark side is dark on your image.
What I'd do (if I had the time) would be to first produce a template for the scattered light (maybe by averaging some frames with the crescent removed), and then subtract that template (suitably normalized) from each frame, before registering on the crescent and doing the final average. "Suitably normalized" is the hard part here - but I wouldn't be surprized if there's an imageJ plugin to do that...
Posted by: fred_76 Nov 7 2015, 04:42 PM
Yes I do agree with you. Charon is very dark compared to Pluto atmosphere's scattered light and the area where the details are visible is located on the limb near the Sun's direction : bottom right side. Charon's illuminated area is on the bottom left side of Pluto and we see nothing there.

I haven't tried yet but I think you could probably stack enough of the frames together to cancel out the crescent as noise and then you could use that as your dark frame. Might have a go at this today.
Edit: Well, it worked actually really well at taking out scattered optical rays but being 8bit jpgs, it made everything too smooth.
|
This was a stack of the 22 images on the 1st page. Maybe it would work better with more frames. Or maybe some preprocessing on the frames would benefit or mixing in preprocessed with unprocessed. Lots of options here still.
With the raw images, you could probably just readjust the stretching on the image and start seeing some features.
Edit 2: Also, here's the stacked frame I used for a dark frame, if anyone else wants to try.

What I did :
1) download all images
2) convert them to FITS with Iris ( http://www.astrosurf.com/buil/us/iris/iris.htm )
3) make a master flat from all the images (I used a master bias made from a batch of 11 photos of short duration from "black" pictures of Nix, Hydra...)
4) process the FITS (remove offset, divide by flat)
5) align the resulting images (planetary registration)
6) stack the images (sigma median)
Then I saved the result in PSD format.
In Photoshop (CS2) :
1) resample the image by 400%
2) remove the borders with are crapy
3) play with the curves to get max details
4) enhance details with a local enhancement filter (see principle : http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/local-contrast-enhancement.htm)
5) adjust curves again
Save and stop !

?The New Horizons team is preparing for a big week at the AAS/DPS meeting with dozens of research report talks and posters, as well as a press briefing. Many new results will be announced. As a result there will be no Thursday captioned releases the weeks of Nov 2 and 9. There will however be a NASA news release summarizing major DPS highlights.

And there was the very welcome announcement of the successful trajectory adjustment toward the next target which for me was more than compensation for the absence of an image release that day.

It was always a bit of a shot in the dark. For completeness it had to be tried.

I definitely wouldn't jump to that conclusion so fast.
Take this image for instance:
http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/jpeg/PIA19931.jpg
(click to enlarge)
Both the right and left images are from the exact same source but if you were to crop around the darker image on the left, there is no way you will be able to extract enough data to reach the version on the right. The raw files contain 16-times more data than this version or any of the files on SOC. Looking at the above linked image, I can almost guarantee we will have more to add to the Pluto map.

The Charonshine images may work better if the black sky images are used in combination with the Pluto images. To properly use them would probably requires the pointing information for both the blank sky images and the Pluto images which the New Horizons team has but the image gurus don't. Maybe we will see some better results at the DPS conference.

I checked - Pluto was well outside the plane of the ecliptic at the time of these images and all of the planets are way outside the field of view. So maybe that blip alongside the crescent is a star. Or blooming from the crescent.
Posted by: ZLD Nov 8 2015, 05:33 PM
I've looked at the blip on the limb in several of the images independently and stacked sets. Part of me wants to hope it is something rising off the surface, or possibly some high altitude crystals deeper in the atmosphere causing the bloom. Realistically, its probably just a slightly more dense portion of the atmosphere there and its just standard CCD bloom. Definitely be worth noting and looking at in the raws if there isn't some announcement about finding something prior to that.
Posted by: Bill Harris Nov 8 2015, 09:05 PM
Which image or images are you referring to? I see something around 5:00 iin ZLD's post#125 image.
Posted by: ZLD Nov 8 2015, 09:07 PM
Thats the point in question. Its in every raw image off SOC that I've seen (I've only looked at around 30 of them).
Posted by: fredk Nov 9 2015, 04:30 PM
I guess the problem is that the crescent is so much brighter than the scattered light that it doesn't average away. So you'd expect to see that residual smeared crescent in your dark frame subtracted images. Except for inside the smallish region where the crescent smear doesn't cover.
Maybe the way to do this would be to mask the crescent out of each frame before averaging to create the dark frame, taking account the masking when taking the average. Not an easy job...

Wow, so Piccard Mons was seen only via Plutonian twilight back-scatter? 
Posted by: stevesliva Nov 9 2015, 06:26 PM
Stereo twilight.
Posted by: Gladstoner Nov 9 2015, 06:34 PM
To my eyes, Wright Mons looks more like an uplift with subsequent central collapse and surface deformation than a volcanic construct. But still, such a process could still be due to and result in the movement and eruption of icy magma.
Posted by: ZLD Nov 9 2015, 07:16 PM
I need to do an update to this with the better available data but here is the morph I did of Wright Mons once again.
http://imgur.com/9Z2ZPcg
(http://i.imgur.com/9Z2ZPcg.gif)
Also, with how clear the backscatter came out, I can't express how excited I am to see more twilight images. We are probably in for some great twilight images because during the crescent image, LORRI was snapping images as well.
Posted by: MarsInMyLifetime Nov 9 2015, 10:00 PM
I was hoping that with the discussion about the Wright Mons image that a scientist might mention the bright glint in the lower right of that image (it comes and goes in ZLD's morph). Most of the oblique views of the region also show a bright spot there. It seems to become less evident in the overhead images, so I'm thinking that there may be a reflective spall on an icy cliffside giving NH a bit of sunlight when lined up just right.
Posted by: ZLD Nov 9 2015, 10:10 PM
Honestly, and not to suggest that they aren't thorough, they may not have done this type of comparative analysis yet with the data.
That particular area was pretty challenging to work with and the glint wasn't at all obvious to where it was in the overhead image. I think I changed it to various areas 5 or 6 times until I got it pretty close to right. Very very complex terrain and a lot of things could go easily missed.
Posted by: fredk Nov 9 2015, 10:18 PM
Except, as someone pointed out, the backscatter surface will be hard to see in the crescent images due to the high phase angle (ie, you'll be looking at the dark side of the slopes). I think all the images that show surface detail on the dark side are at low phase angle (when you're looking at the bright side of the slopes).
Posted by: alan Nov 9 2015, 10:27 PM
The team used the model to deduce the Rayleigh number, a mathematical term associated with the level of buoyancy-driven flow, or convection.
“We found that a mantle containing a small amount of ammonia -- which has been seen on the surface of bodies in the outer solar system and plausibly condensed in the planets in this region -- lowers the temperature required to achieve a Rayleigh number where convection occurs,” Trowbridge said. “The ammonia lowers the viscosity of water ice by a factor of 100,000. This would allow for the geologically active and vigorous Pluto seen in the New Horizon images.”

@fredk: We will be looking at the dark side of the slopes yes, but if you watch closely in the animation above, you can see the shadowed rim of the crater / pit light up in the high phase from reflecting light and that is through MVIC. LORRI should be much more sensitive to the reflected light (providing there was enough of course).

Well, Organa crater and Skywalker crater (on Charon), and the idea of ammonia rich impacts just became much more interesting...
If a relatively small amount of ammonia is enough to trigger ice convection, then "impact melting" on Pluto may be due to chemical effects, not just kinetics.
Example- an ammonia rich object impact could create Tombaugh, not by kinetic energy, by through chemistry which basically dissolves the landscape.
Posted by: fredk Nov 10 2015, 01:01 AM
True enough. In that case it's the light from the farther (from the sun) bright rim that's illuminating the shadowed rim. So any such illuminated surfaces would have to be sunward of the terminator. To actually see into the dark side from the terminator (where the illumination is from atmospheric scattering), I think you'd need a low phase angle.

I don't think they are thinking about the impactors being ammonia rich. They are talking about Pluto itself being ammonia rich. I don't think Tombaugh Regio is in any way impact related. The ice there is N2 and CO, water ice, even ammonia rich, is hard at ordinary Pluto temperatures. The ice in Tombaugh Regio is clearly not water ice. I think they are thinking more in the line of ammonia enabling cryovolcanic eruptions and volcanoes, as the freezing point of ammonia-water solutions can be lower than -100 degrees Celsius, and even below that the ice might remain a viscous, partially melted slurry, like half-melted snow or (really smelly) ice cream.
Posted by: ZLD Nov 10 2015, 03:47 PM
I have my personal doubts about the impact hypothesis as well but there seems to be some talk coming out of the conference on twitter about the region beginning with a large impactor, albeit much smaller than the basin currently is.
Edit: https://twitter.com/astrokiwi has a few tweets about this coming from Paul Schenk.
Posted by: ZLD Nov 10 2015, 04:03 PM
Ok, so there is a lot of talk about an anaglyph of the 'ice volcanoes' mentioned yesterday and then I got curious. I hadn't ever really thought about trying this but it actually seems to work. I took the animation I posted earlier and turned it into an static anaglyph.

Probably not. The Photojournal entry says LORRI. However, the caption does say 'cameras', and the west Sputnik image is coupled with a definite LORRI image, so who knows?

Posted by: Superstring Nov 11 2015, 01:21 AM
The size of Piccard Mons, relative to Pluto's diameter, is almost the same proportion as Olympus Mons is to Mars.
To my knowledge, no cryovolcanic dome has ever been confirmed. Titan has a potential cryovolcano in the form of a patera (with the highest adjacent peak reaching 1.5 km), and Triton (at least the part we've observed) is rather flat, featuring cryovolcanic pits. Even the tallest volcano on Io is about 2.5 km in elevation.
You have to look on Venus, Earth, and Mars to find volcanoes comparable to (or larger than) these things on Pluto -- and they most certainly are not cryogenic.

Again, I have my doubts, but I must say it would be fantastic to have a MVIC Pan at that resolution.
We do get the P_PHOTSCAN sequence of this very area at 250 m/px with MVIC, and I don't think that the P_LEISA_HIRES LORRI footprint at 240 m/px will actually cover this precise area; so I think the new image is part of the P_PHOTSCAN MVIC scan.

Wish they would have went into a little more detail about what the differences in coloring meant. Obviously the implication is that the wide color grading represents differences in surface composition. Unless there is some standard color grading I'm unaware of, without any clue as to what any of the colors mean, its really just a rainbow image of Pluto...

Very true, but that's how principal component analysis works. All it does is identify areas with different characteristics, it doesn't tell you anything about what those characteristics are. So it takes ages to analyze everything else and gradually tease out the meaning behind those variations.

Posted by: Bill Harris Nov 13 2015, 07:27 AM
It has also been called "difference analysis" and does show differences based on spectral characteristics without actually defining what those differences are. I guess if you determined that a light cyan-magenta hue was a suggestion of the presence of thiotimoline ypu could run with that...
The appearance has always impressed me as the result of creative twiddling with a hue wheel.

No press release today?
I'm guessing that means tomorrow's release of LORRI images wont be much to get excited about. More sunlight artifacts? Yay

Well, well, well... dear 'Saturns Moon Titan' :
This mission is already an incredible technical and engineering feat ! We were treated already with the 1st images from a world no one knew about its surface a mere 6 months ago ! The 1st science results are just astounding : we anticipated a new 'Triton'... We are facing a 'quasi-Mars' ! We are receiving images from billions of kilometers: the s/c is in good health ! Everything goes as scheduled in the planning ! The NH mission is greatly managed by Alan Stern and his Deputies and his team deserves several standing ovations ! So... cheer up and wait for the incredible data yet to come...

I am guessing that these blurred photos are photos of almost the full disk of the dark side of Pluto. I presume that if they were combined then a detailed close up view of the dark side of Pluto would emerge.

I genuinely consider the days leading up to the Pluto encounter and all the wild predictions seeing Pluto getting closer and closer some of the best days of my life! It's come to the point where Thursday/Friday are the highlight of my week just in anticipation of Pluto stuff. So I'll be a little dissapointed if we just get sunlight artifacts again but there is so much data not yet downlinked to look forward to anyway

Not immediately sure what they are showing, and which imaging sequence they are from.
EDIT: P_HIPHASE_HIRES apparently, thanks.
Posted by: Herobrine Nov 20 2015, 07:58 PM
If I recall correctly, P_HIPHASE_HIRES is supposed to be the highest surface resolution we'll get.
Edit: Here's that second one with the brightness stretched:

Posted by: Habukaz Nov 20 2015, 08:06 PM
Slightly lower than the highest, I think. A good second spot. Unless we have been looking at different information.
A quick processed version of the frame just, ahem, "left" of the volcano-thingy:

I mostly dismissed the location of this image because there is no context. However, the thought crossed my mind and I think the nearby bright features are part of http://pluto.jhuapl.edu/Multimedia/Science-Photos/pics/CryoVolcanism_Mountains-Rt-txt.jpg. In this view, we would be looking toward the South Pole.

I'm confused. According to this schedule http://www.unmannedspaceflight.com/index.php?act=attach&type=post&id=38231 there were two observations called P_HIPHASE_HIRES. But one was taken by MVIC and one by LORRI, the LORRI version presumably being the one uploaded to the LORRI images page. But aren't the images released yesterday a part of the MVIC-not LORRI- mosaic we got a few weeks ago? http://www.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/thumbnails/image/nh-mp1_029918_destripe_large_bright.jpg.
And according to that schedule LORRI's P_HIPHASE_HIRES is the highest resolution image taken of Pluto. yet previous comments say it isn't. Please help me understand
Posted by: ZLD Nov 21 2015, 03:01 PM
The MVIC image previously released is a single capture, not a mosaic. LORRI was capturing images during and around the same time as the MVIC capture.
Also, oops on the twilight bit. Too bad. Really hoping we get to see some more LORRI shots just below the lit limb soon.
Posted by: stfletch Nov 21 2015, 04:12 PM
SaturnsMoonTitan -
There are a number of different sources of information for exactly what images where taken and when and and what resolution. While they mostly agree there are some small discrepancies because until the flyby took places there were uncertainties about the exact timings of closest approach.
The table you are referencing was created by me based mainly on the information on the JPL website Flyby page... see http://pluto.jhuapl.edu/Mission/The-Flyby.php
This page gives the LORRI images taken just after closest approach as being ever so slightly higher resolution than those taken before. But I have seen other sources that had it the other way round. Presumably the New Horizons guys know exactly what resolutions we ended up getting but I haven't see the information released.
And as ZLD says, the LORRI images released yesterday on the SOC site are NOT part of the MVIC image, but a separate strip taken around the same time of the same area.

Somewhat higher resolution than the image downloaded back in July, and with some additional terrain included, perhaps part of 220 m/px images taken in the following imaging pass.
ETA: the 412m/px image for comparison:

I was actually wondering about this image the other day. It definitely came from LORRI and it is in the Photojournal but the source image(s) aren't on the SOC at all unless I missed them? Have I misunderstood that all LORRI images would be uploaded to SOC as they come in or is it just 'most'?

IIRC http://pluto.jhuapl.edu/soc/Pluto-Encounter/view_obs.php?image=029917/lor_0299174761_0x630_sci_4.jpg&utc_time=2015-07-14%3Cbr%3E10:14:02%20UTC&description=&target=PLUTO&range=0.1M%20km&exposure=150%20msec&imgType=approved was delayed a couple of weeks, I think they just missed it when updating the site.
What I remember is the images posted on Friday are those downloaded by the end of the previous Tuesday, seeing that the photojurnal image was posted two Tuesdays ago I was expecting it to be included in last weeks update.
I've pointed out that it is missing from the LORRI site via their feedback link, perhaps it will show up next Friday.

I'm thinking that the definitive release of the NH data won't be until PDS-time and this is just the preliminary iamege release, for which we should all be thankful to the NH Team.

That image ( http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA20155 ) being from LORRI is a bit puzzling to me. It appears to have been taken 'straight on', but I would expect the field of view to be much smaller (closer) when NH was at that position. It could be an image taken earlier that was stretched (perhaps one that has already been released), but there appears to be no artifacts indicating that.

When I was working on the tweened animation, I noticed that it didn't appear to be projected quite the same as the MVIC scan, so I think you're right in suggesting it has been reprojected. However, it seems far too high resolution to be from data we already have publicly available.
Posted by: JohnVV Nov 24 2015, 04:58 AM
PIA20155 not really sure that it is reprojected , but it is on the limb so there is some curvature
-- shadow lengths change more than just a bit
but this one dose work a bit better than the last one
-- i ignored the fact it is curved and on the limb .The mesh is mostly flat

I wonder if it could be an illustration based on several images rather than an actual image?

Double header!
Posted by: stfletch Nov 30 2015, 01:04 PM
Since things are quiet at the moment before the double header release of LORRI images coming up on Friday, I'll post an updated version of my list showing what we have received so far.
Not too many updates as a lot of the LORRI images released over the last few weeks have come from before or after the time period covered by my list.
See caveats in http://www.unmannedspaceflight.com/index.php?s=&showtopic=8071&view=findpost&p=227255 post.

Thanks for the continued updates stfletch. These have been a great resource for referencing the data.

Catching almost every major type of terrain in one long strip! Thanks Pluto!
Now where's that swear jar....

Amazing! A bit in particular that interests me is the way the snow slumps in this bit of the image. Are those snow 'dunes'?

Probably an image artifact. I remember seeing stuff like that at Io.
Here's my rendition of the P_MVIC_LORRI_CA mosaic. Still missing 4 frames it looks like (plus the rest of the frames approaching the terminator, of course), so there are a couple of gaps.

Gladstoner, do you have a context view for that close-up? Agreed that it may prove indicative.

Yet another batch of impressive images. Pluto continues to surprise - I'm having a hard time remembering something of significance from the NH images that is *not* surprising compared to what was expected before the flyby. These images look to me like a weird mix of Europa, Enceladus, Mars, Earth (!) - plus features unique to Pluto.

Faaaantastic new images! Perhaps it will be possible to use colour data from the http://www.gigapan.com/gigapans/179514 to overlay on these new mosaics.
By the way, the newly published "strip" extends further down than shown. Here's my ICE mosaic, going as far up as the edge of the mountains:

Perhaps the pits are the result of this phase transition.
Posted by: Gladstoner Dec 5 2015, 08:48 PM
From south to north, there appears to be a progression/evolution of the 'cells' (left to right, top to bottom):
|
At first, they appear to poke out from the plain. Smooth surfaces develop around the cells and then seem to shrink into the prominent linear features as the cells grow and merge together. Eventually, the lineaments seem to shrink further into thin, dark lines that are seen near the Al-Idrisi mountains.

The sharpness of that boundary is striking. I can't help thinking of oceanic crust subducting beneath a continental margin.

I spent most time looking at the boundary between the terrain types, where the rugged terrain appear to be resting on top.
And that image of the mountain--ice plain boundary is amazing. The debris fans from the mass-wasting of the mountain blocks are clearly resting on top the ice of the plain and this speaks volumes about relative ages of these units and their history. I shudder to think about higher resolution imagery on Charon, my choice of study.
And, thanks again to the NH Team for sharing this.

The stuff between the blocks and along the margins seems more like floating flotsam being constrained by 'currents', kind of like this:

What would mass wasting look like when involving the various ices on Pluto? It may not resemble what we see in much of the solar system.
Posted by: HSchirmer Dec 6 2015, 06:15 AM
...
What would mass wasting look like when involving the various ices on Pluto?
Well, it's not just mass wasting, but mass redeposition. Bizarre think to consider,
pluto has 2 conflicting forces- global heat flow and atmospheric heat buffering.
IIRC, at pluto's conditions, H2O ice conducts heat significantly better than N2 ices.
But, because pluto's atmosphere is N2 and it has large areas of N2 ice, they are in equilibrium, and
the surface should be like a giant constant temperature bath.
So, just like a pitcher with many ice cubes slowly turns into a pitcher with one giant ice cube,
the mass will not just waste, but redistribute.
Wow, several interesting things about the convection cell images, and the paper.
First, the assumption that the N2 ice is going through the A-B phase transition.
That should essentially shatter the bulk ice into small grains which are then small enough to convect.
It appears that small grain size is a prequestite for bulk convection.
http://www.researchgate.net/publication/254371139_HEAT_AND_MASS_TRANSPORT_IN_NITROGEN_ICE_WITH_APPLICATION_TO_PLUTO_AND_TRITON
Another thing, convection is generally better than conduction at moving heat. Convection should actually concentrate the
heat flow towards the center of the convection cells. Perhaps the pits are a result of that locally increased heat flow.
Flip side, the subducting edges of a convection cell will have less heat flow than adjoining conduction areas.
So, the 'cold' subducting edge of the cell should pull heat out of adjoining area, perhaps that why CO ice is there.
Posted by: Bill Harris Dec 6 2015, 09:20 AM
It would be alien and otherworldly. Terrestrial analogs may not hold up but they are about the only template we have now. See what fits, then modify to conform with reality.
Good analogy. WaterIce-ite has an SG of 0.927 and Nitrogen an SG of 1.026 so the debris might tend to be somewhat "floaty". We see some debris collected in the downwelling "subduction zones" between convecting cells Remember the physics experiment where a block of dry ice could float frictionlessly on a tabletop, supported by a film of sublimating CO2? A chunk of water-ice may behave frictionlessly on a surface of N2 ice. And remember the "racetrack boulders" on Western US playas that R.Lorentz studied a few years ago.
And very good points to consider. The surface of Pluto could be considered to be balanced in a precarious state of equilibrium. Even insolation, which has a very small energy input, has to be considered in the thermodynamics equation.
I'm waiting for someone to look at The Hubble imagery of Pluto and make a quesstimate of the conditions on Pluto backtracked from today's conditions over the last 25 years (10%, 1/10 of Pluto's orbital period).
I found a press-release montage with 2002-2003 imagery at longitude increments of 30deg which provides an overview:
http://hubblesite.org/newscenter/archive/releases/2010/06/image/h/
And conditions on Pluto and Charon are not dissimilar to thousands of other Kuiper objects so this is more the rule than the exception in our Solar System.
There. No arm-waving, my hands were carefully folded in my lap...

Posted by: Habukaz Dec 12 2015, 09:07 AM
Since no new imagery was released yesterday, and since no one appears to have discussed http://pluto.jhuapl.edu/soc/Pluto-Encounter/data/pluto/level2/lor/jpeg/029917/lor_0299177051_0x636_sci_7.jpg, I'll torture it a little to bring out some features:
A trail of ice leading from outside a crater to inside it (is it streaming?):
A branched feature:
A narrow fracture cutting through a crater:
Ice-filled crater (one of several mini-Sputniks?):

Are we sure they didn't accidentally slip in a HiRISE image of Gale Crater?

Because there was no LORRI release this week, I'll do a little re-release of my own.
Since I started keeping track of the LORRI images published in SOC, three LORRI frames have disappeared from the site. I wrote the script I use for checking for new images to not only find all of the new ones, but also to tell me if any of the ones I have aren't on the site anymore and it has been reporting these three missing for quite a while now, every time I run it. I have no idea why they're gone and I haven't looked into it, but for whatever reason, these three frames aren't up there anymore, at least not with these file names.
For anyone trying to keep a 'complete set', here are the three that have gone missing, and their metadata files.

Edit: Here are links to the three frames' original browse pages on SOC, found by searching for them on Google. The pages don't work anymore, but they do display the data about the images (in truth, this is because it just displays whatever data is encoded into the URL).

Interesting how the wrinkles change direction at the bottom. I wonder if they are pressure ridges from ice pushing against a shoreline.

Posted by: Gladstoner Dec 17 2015, 08:00 PM
I just can't help but be reminded of ice floes piling up along the shore of one of the Great Lakes. The direction change seems to indicate that the material pressed up against the 'shore', and was then pushed or pulled away by 'currents'.

This crater is strange, it seems to have the same smooth material as Sputnik Planum - but I don't see any entry point around the crater that would allow it to "flow" into the crater, maybe it came from below, like a lava filled crater??

and its interesting in https://www.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/thumbnails/image/p_leisa_hires.jpg as well as https://www.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/thumbnails/image/snakeskin_detail.png how some craters and other features are filled while others are not. A single notion doesnt quite fit whether it be craters filling up to a regional liquid table level, ice particles precipitating or blowing in like sand, or heaven knows what else.. with a complicating factor of very ancient and relatively recent terrains apparently overlaid and preserving a puzzling patchwork of planetary perplexities..
Posted by: Habukaz Dec 18 2015, 01:16 PM
I guess nitrogen on Pluto is more analogous to water on Earth than lava (so we could have groundnitrogen filling it up). The nitrogen dynamics of the Tombaugh region have been http://pluto.jhuapl.edu/News-Center/News-Article.php?page=20150917 to the hydrological cycle on Earth previously.
Nitrogen vapour from the Sputnik plain could re-deposit in craters nearby. There does seem to be more ice-filled craters closer to Sputnik than further away.

Ever look up at the ripples in cirrus clouds, and suddenly you're reminded that you are standing at the bottom of an ocean of air?
That kinds of inverted point of view helps with Pluto. That atmosphere is an ocean of air, N2 to be exact.
But like the arctic ocean on earth, things at the surface seem solid, but a little heat and they could be fluid instead.
Pluto's N2 atmosphere should be in equilibrium with the N2 ices, and those surface N2 ices should redistribute based on heat flow.
Anywhere there is a difference in heat flow, the N2 ices should reflect that. It's sort of a thermic "sea level".
So, if that crater floor has a lower net heat flow than surrounding areas, N2 ice should accumulate there.

New frames from the hi-res strip....

Hmmm.... It may now be a little easier to work out some of the processes. The Sputnik material here does looks like a degraded glacier-like deposit lying atop the knobby, 'dusty' terrain.

Hmmm.... It may now be a little easier to work out some of the processes. The Sputnik material here does looks like a degraded glacier-like deposit lying atop the knobby, 'dusty' terrain.
These 'flowers' crater resemble a volcanic crater :-/ or exsplosive glacial crater

I'm leaning toward some kind of karst-like process producing sinkholes. See:
|
The 'flower' pit and similar features are marked in green. Collapse pits within Sputnik Planum are marked in red. I believe these are all the same type of structure. The pitted nitrogen on the floor of the 'flower' could be a remnant of a once-more-extensive Sputnik. The close-ups of the Sputnik/highlands boundary indicate that the nitrogen deposit is eroding and receding here:

Just noticed a rather interesting flicker gif from 2010
http://www.planetary.org/blogs/emily-lakdawalla/2010/2334.html
that shows how much surface change has occurred!
It shows hubble images from 1994, then 2002
They're 90 degrees off the current higher resolution maps, needed a bit of stitching to give an idea of what the new
high resolution map should look like.
Anybody heard anything about backlit charonshine images recently?

Posted by: scalbers Dec 26 2015, 04:18 PM
Yes, I've looked at these a bit, including an overlay of NH on HST data in my map. It does seem Cthulhu Regio is visible in both HST images and the pole is brightening over time as is otherwise hypothesized from seasonal change. Beyond that I can speculate that some of the differences are more from data processing than other wholesale changes?
On the map I used this image that merges 1994 HST data with Pluto/Charon mutual transit & occultation analysis.

I tend to agree with that, if a major amount of frozen gases had melted it should have created a quite thick temporary atmosphere at Pluto, one that would have been hard to miss even by ground based telescopes. And there were also many observations of Pluto prior to the encounter by NH for planning images, satellite positions possible rings etc so I tend to think what's seen there is dataprocessing.
@Gladstoner: No one but be would be happier if those features had been created by processed similar to those found with glaciers.
Because I would understand them better then.
But I rather think they're created by some sort of melting/sublimation process of captured pockets of frozen gas.

Actually, if you're referring to the large sinkhole-like pits in the 'highlands', I believe we are close to agreement.

it should have created a quite thick temporary atmosphere at Pluto,
one that would have been hard to miss even by ground based telescopes.
Well, ground based scopes did look for that, but the results are weirder than that.
With the weight of the atmosphere currently distributed evenly around the body, the ice temperature is expected to be globally isothermal in absence of topographic variations, due to the transport of latent heat from regions of high insolation to low insolation through sublimation and condensation.
Sunshine on N2 ice will thaw the ice on the dayside, but the N2 atmosphere redistributes the mass and heat so an equivalent amount of N2 freezes out on the nightside. All N2, ice or atmosphere, stays at the same temperature, now ~ 40k.
Interestingly, sunshine on H2O ice is different, telescope observations suggest it warms to 50k or so, so it behaves
more like normal "ground" which should generate thermals, upslope and downslope winds etc.
The "flower" craters could locations where sunlit peaks of H2O ice warm up, and drive sublimation of nearby N2 ice.

The trench near the bottom (blue-purple strip) is surprising:

It resembles a subduction zone. If the nitrogen of Sputnik is riding up over the less-dense water ice crust, that could explain how the huge bergs become detached.

Also interesting is how this lake-appearing feature is actually higher than the surrounding terrain:

Edit: I'm curious as to how the different instruments used in the various Hubble/NH observations may have led to apparent changes, and how much is due to actual change versus how much is due to different wavelengths. We can never re-observe Pluto as it used to be (and the seasons won't repeat within anyone's lifetime), but we have an interesting record now of some different observations over a span of 20+ years.

Caption on the http://pluto.jhuapl.edu/News-Center/news/pictures/x-marks-the-spot-lg.jpg says it was downloaded on Dec 24 though it has yet to show up at the LORRI site.

These images were available at LORRI site in the beginning to December, I believe: http://www.unmannedspaceflight.com/index.php?showtopic=8103&st=210
I only see one new image, the one with the "cross". Still one more image is required to complete the high-rez strip: http://pirlwww.lpl.arizona.edu/~perry/images/P_MVIC_LORRI_CA.jpg

Oh yes, that's what I had in mind when typing. So yes, we agree.
And when writing here about Pluto, we've been very hesitant to spit it out clearly, but noted features that suggested glacial processes.
And then Dr. Orkan Umurhan post onhttps://blogs.nasa.gov/pluto/2016/01/08/probing-the-mysterious-glacial-flow-on-plutos-frozen-heart/ and state that these really are glaciers, but made of nitrogen and carbonoxide, that would flow comparatively more easy than glaciers on earth. (Those he's cautious to mention that only limited work have been done on those substances at that temperature.)

A second possibility is that craters in SP are erased and the surface reset through convective overturn. The physics of this anomaly correction is similar to that of viscous relaxation, except that the proximate cause is now a temperature difference from the bottom to the top of the convective cell. This temperature difference causes a density anomaly ∆ρ. The overturn timescale τoverturn is therefore approximately η/∆ρgL, where L is now the vertical dimension. The difference in density between nitrogen ice at 40 K (Pluto surface temperature) and 60 K (the temperature near the base of the “cryo-lithosphere” just below the nitrogen melting temperature) is around 5%, so we use this value for ∆ρ. We assume that the “cell boundaries” seen in the images indicate the horizontal extent of the convection cells — around 30 km — and that the vertical size of a convection cell is around three times smaller than the horizontal extent, or around 10 km. We find a viscosity of equal to or less than around 10^17 Pa-s. We have not taken into account the stress dependence of the effective viscosity, which would lower our estimate somewhat. Nevertheless, this result is consistent with the viscosity of nitrogen ice at 45 K of around 10^8 Pa-s, and indicates that convective overturn is a plausible mechanism for removing craters of this size on SP.
A third possible mechanism to erase craters on SP is through cryovolcanism that conveys melt from a subsurface reservoir. The assumption here is that at the base of the SP surface layer, which we again take to be on the order of 10 km, there is (perhaps partial) melting of nitrogen ice. This liquid material, which is under pressure, could be extruded to the surface through local cracks (presumably the same cell boundaries described above) and fill in any negative topography before freezing. This mechanism requires that the temperature at the base of the SP surface layer be around 63 K, at which temperature solid nitrogen melts, compared to the surface temperature of 38 K. This implies a temperature difference of around 25 K (the temperature difference across the SP surface layer) over a vertical distance of around 10 km, for a thermal gradient of around 2.5 K/km. The volume of infill material extruded in 10 million years must equal the volume of the crater that is erased, which is roughly πD3/80, where the factor of 10 in the denominator arises from the typical depth/diameter ratio of 1:10. The melt production rate must therefore be around 1 m^3/year or 10^7 m^3 (0.01 km3) in ten million years in order to erase a single crater of order 625 meters in diameter.

Thanks for the link. Interesting stuff.

New NASA release: Pluto’s Wright Mons in Color

Here is a morph I did of Wright Mons a few months ago, with a different enhanced color overlay. The resolution is quite large so I would recommend fullscreen.

Some new high phase images of Pluto now at LORRI site.

I hadn't even been paying attention until I happened to look at the SBN release schedule today. The http://pdssbn.astro.umd.edu/data_sb/resources/release_sched.shtml is next month for all instruments, labeled as 'Cruise', probably all 3 Approach phases.
