Hopefully we'll get another picture soon. Meanwhile, I took the first image and smoothed it from the big pixel format. No new information but it looks better... maybe!

Well it at least appears to still be there, which I suppose is good news.
Vesta is my mother in laws first name too . |

Vesta has fond assocations for some of us. It was a type of dehydrated chicken or beef curry meal we used to take camping in the 1970s...

haha! I remember those! I wouldn't be surprised if Vesta turns out to be *less* dense than some of those meals...!!
Edit: here's what we're talking about... Vesta chow mein Many happy/not so happy flashbacks for Brit forum members after clicking on that link... those "crispy noodles" were harder than a tramp's toenails. -------------------- |

... those "crispy noodles" were harder than a tramp's toenails. Well there's goes MY breakfast. -------------------- If Occam had heard my theory, things would be very different now.

And I liked the crunchy noodles.
Makes me wonder whether GRaND will detect any Sodium 2-Aminopentanedioate though... Andy |

You aren't excited about this, are you?
I wouldn't think it would look too different from the previous image. -------------------- -- Hungry4info (Sirius_Alpha)

Pictures taken now should have almost twice the resolution of the first image.
