Hardly a 'triumph' for the human race but interesting all the same.

Mountains on Charon! I believe they are saying it's geologically active, also.

Tux you're such a little Earther Of course its an incredible achievement, sending a probe off into space then 4.5 billion miles & 9 years later it finally arrives just off the surface & sends back high definition images of a new & strange world which until recently all we had was a blurry image from the Hubble telescope. We are the first humans to be able to see the surface of Pluto, its amazing & inspiring, the collective knowledge of the Human race has yet again been furthered by science, of course it is an amazing achievement by the human race. What we have learned from this fly by so far One of Pluto's moons Hydra is made of mostly water ice which makes it quite an interesting target for future space missions What we have learned of another of Pluto's moons Charon is just as exciting as Pluto, I wasnt expecting images of charon to be so clear & the scientists have been humerously calling the North pole of Charon ''Mordor''. Pluto also demonstrates a very smooth surface indicating again a geologically active planet to go a little further these are the first two planetary bodies to have active cores or at least recently (within the last 10 million years) that dont need tidal pulling to be active. The Kuiper belt is clearly a fascinating place. Ouzodan is a happy astronomer tonight.

Still nice to see the pics though and i'm glad you're a happy astronomer tonight

Well said Ouzo. Not sure I can agree with Tux that space (isn't it actually space/time?) is inert, what with big crazy rocks hurtling into the earth millions of years ago wiping out the Flintstones et al then allowing us to pop (time [is] a relative dimension in space) into existence. Apparently more stuff to be released on Friday.
Taking the Sorry to see Lee Hills go, did we ever see Alex Marrow? We did January 2013 |

Thanks Dan. As ever your posts on these matters add value. Ignore TUX.... there's just no pleasing some people! To be that accurate after 9 years and 4.5 Billion miles of travel seems a hell of an achievement to me.

It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses. |
