40 days and counting. The long wait is almost over!
I wonder whether we will get enough data to test new simulation theories like this one. http://space.newscientist.com/article/mg19...solar-wind.html What do you expect from this first flyby? |

I would like to get a much closer look at some of these crater features. Many are clearly impact origin; but others seem to be collapsed lava tubes. The bright ones with the bright material rays may be caldera. In fact, some of the collapsed lava tube features appear to originate from those bright craters that I think might be caldera.
The point I'm making is that I'm not sure. We need a closer look. And I'd like to know what the surface material is made of. |
