Legoland should be pretty interested in hanging that model somwhere... - Maybe they can even make a financial contribution..

It sure says a lot about the meager trickle of data coming out that we have an active mission in orbit around an asteroid, and most of the posts for the past several days have been about building a Lego model. Even NEAR put out more regular observations nearly 11 years ago.

I don't have red-blue glasses with me, so I could not check it.

QUOTE (Paolo @ Aug 15 2011, 10:13 AM) ladies and gentlemen: the Snowman! Well, the two bigger ones definitely look contemporaneous, and the way their ejecta airbrushed the surrounding terrain is pretty neat. Can't tell if the head of the snowman was there first or not. |

The rim of the third, smaller, crater looks to be more rounded instead of knife-like as the two larger craters do, so I would assume that it is older.

LOOK at that bottom one! There are possible compositional differences within a small geographical area, much like Mercury!
Ooo! Ahhh! Here we go!

Man, the things a HiRISE or Cassini NAC would be seeing there at this point...

Just some shameless bragging, here: Pablogm1024 was our guest for dinner last Thursday, and he is indeed most amiable & engaging company!
Unfortunately, we couldn't find the camera (Mrs. nprev had misplaced it!), and I'm therefore quite sorry there's no pic to post. But it was quite a time!I would be remiss if I did not mention that the inimitable & brilliant Juramike also stopped by a couple of weeks ago as well. I will post a pic if anyone wants to see it, and if Mike consents! -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.
