Alright FINE-theres no evidence to suggest that... at the moment anyway. I was just suprised no one had started this thread already.

New Horizons flew within 8,000 miles yesterday and the images started coming in this morning!!!! Here is my attempt to post a link to NatGeo's website.

http://phenomena.nationalgeographic.com/2015/07/13/new-horizons-science-update-pluto-is-the-biggest-one-of-all/

Two fun facts:
Pluto also varies in brightness. Smeared near the planet’s equator is an extremely bright, heart-shaped region the team is now informally calling Tombaugh Regio, after the man who discovered Pluto in 1930.
Hugging that heart on either side are splotches that are about as dark as anything can get.

Charon has an enigmatic dark pole that could be made of materials that escaped from Pluto. Team members are informally referring to that area as Mordor, Olkin said.


It's been over a decade and I've forgotten everything I ever knew about formating things for posting in a forum. If anybody wants to rep;ost that link properly, I'd be much obliged.

My bound knowledge tells me that Pluto is far too cold for any known life to exists. Maybe dormant microscopic organisms waiting for the right temperate but definitely no UFO Landing Pads and Launching Stations

Pluto is only propaganda ...just exciting some of us wannabe scientists

bear in mind that the mobile phone of the day was this, 10 years ago when new Horizons was launched, amazing that it sent back so much data.

That's not a mobile phone. That is Captain Kirk's communicator.

Later data :wink:

wrong star trek I think

Do Motorola still make phones, I haven't saw one in ages

Well thanks for that...

So much for trying to find the 'deeper end' of the Forum... barely got the soles of my shoes wet.

We are standing in the doorway of genuine scientific discovery... Totally new data that is challenging things we thought we knew- not just about Pluto and the Kuiper Belt, but about the universe as a whole! And nooooooobody has a single thought on the topic. frustrated

Hell, why bother getting excited over something if you can't form a mob and attack somebody, right?!?!?! pitchfork

Where's the chance to throw insults and belittle people when all the information is brand new and the possibilities are wide open?yawn

Three damn pages of 'Homeopathy vs The Forum'! Which can be summed up as:

Homeopathy practitioner: It's mystical and effective! Everyone should try it!love

The Forum: It sucks and your a dumb foreigner with his head up his ***. rant

Well I'm headed over to the NatGeo channel cuz at 8pm (EST) They'll be talking about actual 'science'. :banana:

Hey, If you head over early you might catch their version of 'Cops'! It's chock full of redneck hillbillies who live in trailers! You might see somebody you know! drinks




Hang in there. drinker
Forums are unpredictable at times.
Myself, I made 9 threads, 2 days ago. That was a lot of prep reading to choose them slaphead
Only 1 person post on 1 thread. The threads were up 5-9 hours. So I posted to myself. laugh Then one thread was deleted completely mad

I was frustrated as hell. frustrated
But, I'm still here. I'm still posting & I learned a few lessons....
1- Don't put so much effort out again laugh
2- Most people are reluctant to be the first post after the OP (it sets the tone for the thread usually).
3- Most people want conversation of everyday nonsense & pics surprised

-Summarized
On Pluto, large mountains were spotted on the far side (from the sun), which scientists ***** can only be supported by 'water based bedrock'. Pluto's surface is covered with nitrogen, methane and carbon monoxide - all ice; but scientists say that you cannot build mountains 11000 feet high with stuff like that - it's too soft and that leaves water - "just like on earth".


A Wiki read starts with
water ice could survive in cold, permanently shadowed craters at the Moon's poles. Water molecules are also detected in the thin layer of gases above the lunar surface.
...
In November 2009, NASA reported that its LCROSS space probe had detected a significant amount of hydroxyl group in the material thrown up from a south polar crater by an impactor;] this may be attributed to water-bearing materials[11] what appears to be "near pure crystalline water"



And a 2010 Mineralogy Mapping picture shows Water at the poles and that's 600million metric tones of water at the poles!

So then the question of finding water in Mars - could it be below those CO2 ice caps - at the poles?

Of course drilling through those ice caps is another matter. At those cryo temperatures, drills would break like toothpicks.
Ok, one step at a time.

If you look closely at the bottom of pluto in the dark patch ...



Ba ha ha ha. I see it!!!!




















You can just make out an alien being...
