Thanks for posting pics. I'm not completely lazy. My excuse is I was posting from my phone.fredo wrote:I think that deserves a few photos posted
Boom.
They zoom into one part of the yesterday’s photo of Pluto with the first very high resolution image. He says surprisingly that they have not found a single impact crater on this image.
“Probably less than 100 million years old, which is a small fraction” of the age of the solar system, he says. “These mountains we’res seeing are quite spectacular, they might be up to 11,000ft high.”
He says the surface is covered with a lot of nitrogen, ice, methane ice – “you just can’t make mountains out of that stuff, so we’re seeing the bedrock.”

Ok I know the physics algorithms are out there to calculate how to get to Pluto, but it still blows my mind that we sent something 10 years ago off in the wrong direction, swing it around a couple of planets and hit Pluto 3 billion miles later. Even with computers that it GOOD!
Oh and Pluto needs to get its planet status back

Holy fudge! The New Yorker link was horrifying (and really intriguing). Thanks for sharing!CMS wrote:For all you Pacific north westerners out there

Ooh! The Zhenyuanlong suni, a new feathered "cousin to velociraptor" has been found! Looks like this one has some pretty complex feather structures too!

But with double our gravity. So putting the average American there would mean a lot of torn tendons and ligaments as their bodies suddenly needed to support 500+ pounds
