It has to do with the new moon discoveries they're making (it's an open secret that there's likely a couple more in the system beyond the four known -- Alan et al just won more Hubble time to confirm or deny this).


I hope there's room to call one of them "Thanatos" (that's the Grim Reaper's name, by the way).

As far as I can tell, there's no asteroid with this name -- which just amazes me.

That seems fitting, since Charon is already the god of taxes. (Sort of.) :-)

Thank you, Alan. As always, if you need "Kodak moments" for the new trajectory, you know where to go! wink.gif

Wow. Thanks, Alan!

Will the team be posting any of the presentations online after the meeting's done?

Yes, or our web site wiki, but it's password protected owing to ITAR.

Right on, and thanks! Have you told your friends on the web to sign too? And asked them to tell their friends? That's the way we get to 100,000!

-And thanks again.

Done! And possibly a good sign: Had trouble getting to not only the NH site, but also the petition site. Heavy traffic? wink.gif
