This thread is for discussion of NH Pluto surface observations received after 10 Oct 2015.
-------------------- 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.

I can understand regularly spaced pits and rows of pits, but how in the world can there be pits occurring in pairs? 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 22.4119038,50.4721622 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? |
