This topic will contain images & discussion of same as they arrive during the extended download period. Similar threads will be opened in coming months as required as acquired data & discussion proceeds.
-------------------- 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.

What kind of scientific data loss can be a question if deviation on Charonset
is 133 seconds, and at Charonrise just 50 seconds? Judging by the nature of scanning at once by RALPH, LORRI and Alice, the images of Charonset and Charonrise were obtained. Just NASA's Eyes bit not exactly show the real program running by NH. Due to the motion of Charon relative Pluto while TDI of MVIC camera Charon could slightly smeared. But this adds even natural tableau. |
