Title: Pluto and moons...
Post by: lucydad on July 14, 2015, 07:15:17 PM

All,

Waiting here for the Pluto mission close image results.  We will see a lot spit out and received in the next ten days.

My planetary geology/geophysics peers are pacing the floor.  Early Pluto images look a lot like Titan, and my bet is than during the 20 years Pluto is inside Neptune's orbit that there are methane lakes like Titan.

My favorite moon is:

Love that name, it rolls off the tongue like olive oil:  Kerberos.  Had to look up the mythology, and it is an alternative for the more familiar Cerebus-- the vicious dog that guards the gates of hell. 

NASA has a huge win here.  The technology works and the navigation and celestial mechanics phenomenal.

F = mass (acceleration), but I bet there are twenty terms in the equation.

Man I love this stuff.  On to the Kuiper belt!
