I was hoping that with the discussion about the Wright Mons image that a scientist might mention the bright glint in the lower right of that image (it comes and goes in ZLD's morph). Most of the oblique views of the region also show a bright spot there. It seems to become less evident in the overhead images, so I'm thinking that there may be a reflective spall on an icy cliffside giving NH a bit of sunlight when lined up just right.
ZLD
Honestly, and not to suggest that they aren't thorough, they may not have done this type of comparative analysis yet with the data.

That particular area was pretty challenging to work with and the glint wasn't at all obvious to where it was in the overhead image. I think I changed it to various areas 5 or 6 times until I got it pretty close to right. Very very complex terrain and a lot of things could go easily missed.

Also, with how clear the backscatter came out, I can't express how excited I am to see more twilight images. We are probably in for some great twilight images because during the crescent image, LORRI was snapping images as well.

Except, as someone pointed out, the backscatter surface will be hard to see in the crescent images due to the high phase angle (ie, you'll be looking at the dark side of the slopes). I think all the images that show surface detail on the dark side are at low phase angle (when you're looking at the bright side of the slopes).

Trowbridge, Melosh and Andy Freed, a Purdue professor of Earth, atmospheric and planetary sciences, used a convection model to analyze the possibility for geologic activity with a mantle of pure water ice and one that was 5 percent ammonia.

The team used the model to deduce the Rayleigh number, a mathematical term associated with the level of buoyancy-driven flow, or convection.

“We found that a mantle containing a small amount of ammonia -- which has been seen on the surface of bodies in the outer solar system and plausibly condensed in the planets in this region -- lowers the temperature required to achieve a Rayleigh number where convection occurs,” Trowbridge said. “The ammonia lowers the viscosity of water ice by a factor of 100,000. This would allow for the geologically active and vigorous Pluto seen in the New Horizon images.”

@fredk: We will be looking at the dark side of the slopes yes, but if you watch closely in the animation above, you can see the shadowed rim of the crater / pit light up in the high phase from reflecting light and that is through MVIC. LORRI should be much more sensitive to the reflected light (providing there was enough of course).

“The ammonia lowers the viscosity of water ice by a factor of 100,000. This would allow for the geologically active and vigorous Pluto seen in the New Horizon images.”

So, perhaps Pluto is beautiful, but smells bad.

Well, Organa crater and Skywalker crater (on Charon), and the idea of ammonia rich impacts just became much more interesting...

If a relatively small amount of ammonia is enough to trigger ice convection, then "impact melting" on Pluto may be due to chemical effects, not just kinetics.
Example- an ammonia rich object impact could create Tombaugh, not by kinetic energy, by through chemistry which basically dissolves the landscape.

True enough. In that case it's the light from the farther (from the sun) bright rim that's illuminating the shadowed rim. So any such illuminated surfaces would have to be sunward of the terminator. To actually see into the dark side from the terminator (where the illumination is from atmospheric scattering), I think you'd need a low phase angle.

Bingo. The geochemistries of cryo-worlds are not completely understood and we may have surprises awaiting us.

I don't think they are thinking about the impactors being ammonia rich. They are talking about Pluto itself being ammonia rich. I don't think Tombaugh Regio is in any way impact related. The ice there is N2 and CO, water ice, even ammonia rich, is hard at ordinary Pluto temperatures. The ice in Tombaugh Regio is clearly not water ice. I think they are thinking more in the line of ammonia enabling cryovolcanic eruptions and volcanoes, as the freezing point of ammonia-water solutions can be lower than -100 degrees Celsius, and even below that the ice might remain a viscous, partially melted slurry, like half-melted snow or (really smelly) ice cream.
ZLD
I have my personal doubts about the impact hypothesis as well but there seems to be some talk coming out of the conference on twitter about the region beginning with a large impactor, albeit much smaller than the basin currently is.

Edit: Michele Bannister has a few tweets about this coming from Paul Schenk.
ZLD
Ok, so there is a lot of talk about an anaglyph of the 'ice volcanoes' mentioned yesterday and then I got curious. I hadn't ever really thought about trying this but it actually seems to work. I took the animation I posted earlier and turned it into an static anaglyph.

I'll probably try to make an anaglpyh version of the full animation next.

It seems to me that this is not LORRI images, but a fragment of last MVIC Pan before closest approach, from approximately 20 thousand km. Is it possible ?

Probably not. The Photojournal entry says LORRI. However, the caption does say 'cameras', and the west Sputnik image is coupled with a definite LORRI image, so who knows?

Again, I have my doubts, but I must say it would be fantastic to have a MVIC Pan at that resolution.

Yesterday's press conference: http://aas.org/media-press/archived-aas-pr...erence-webcasts
Superstring
The size of Piccard Mons, relative to Pluto's diameter, is almost the same proportion as Olympus Mons is to Mars.

To my knowledge, no cryovolcanic dome has ever been confirmed. Titan has a potential cryovolcano in the form of a patera (with the highest adjacent peak reaching 1.5 km), and Triton (at least the part we've observed) is rather flat, featuring cryovolcanic pits. Even the tallest volcano on Io is about 2.5 km in elevation.

You have to look on Venus, Earth, and Mars to find volcanoes comparable to (or larger than) these things on Pluto -- and they most certainly are not cryogenic.

Here's another anaglyph of Wright Mons from an updated morph I'm working on.

I'll have a couple versions for this this time - a false color animation, a full anaglpyh animation and maybe a few others I'm thinking about.

We do get the P_PHOTSCAN sequence of this very area at 250 m/px with MVIC, and I don't think that the P_LEISA_HIRES LORRI footprint at 240 m/px will actually cover this precise area; so I think the new image is part of the P_PHOTSCAN MVIC scan.
Astroboy
Quickly threw this together... it's the P_MPAN images in approximately real time alongside the Eyes simulation.

A note on these, if you can turn your monitor or the video to the left, taking the perspective New Horizons would have had, the depth seems to pop a little more, especially the anaglpyh. I may post a left rotated version for those not able to do this.

Also, sorry for the downgrade in color info. Seems to be a result from Imgur. If I find a better host, I'll upload there.

Wish they would have went into a little more detail about what the differences in coloring meant. Obviously the implication is that the wide color grading represents differences in surface composition. Unless there is some standard color grading I'm unaware of, without any clue as to what any of the colors mean, its really just a rainbow image of Pluto...

I haven't watched it yet but the Monday press briefing on the NH mission from DPS15 can be watched here. If this image is in there with a better description, I'll post more.

Very true, but that's how principal component analysis works. All it does is identify areas with different characteristics, it doesn't tell you anything about what those characteristics are. So it takes ages to analyze everything else and gradually tease out the meaning behind those variations.

It has also been called "difference analysis" and does show differences based on spectral characteristics without actually defining what those differences are. I guess if you determined that a light cyan-magenta hue was a suggestion of the presence of thiotimoline ypu could run with that... wink.gif

The appearance has always impressed me as the result of creative twiddling with a hue wheel.

I'll update this post if more images get published today.

No press release today?

I'm guessing that means tomorrow's release of LORRI images wont be much to get excited about. More sunlight artifacts? Yay sad.gif

Well, well, well... dear 'Saturns Moon Titan' :
smile.gif This mission is already an incredible technical and engineering feat !
smile.gif We were treated already with the 1st images from a world no one knew about its surface a mere 6 months ago !
smile.gif The 1st science results are just astounding : we anticipated a new 'Triton'... We are facing a 'quasi-Mars' !
smile.gif We are receiving images from billions of kilometers: the s/c is in good health !
smile.gif Everything goes as scheduled in the planning !
smile.gif The NH mission is greatly managed by Alan Stern and his Deputies and his team deserves several standing ovations !
smile.gif So... cheer up and wait for the incredible data yet to come...

I am guessing that these blurred photos are photos of almost the full disk of the dark side of Pluto. I presume that if they were combined then a detailed close up view of the dark side of Pluto would emerge.

Yeah, I know. I genuinely consider the days leading up to the Pluto encounter and all the wild predictions seeing Pluto getting closer and closer some of the best days of my life! It's come to the point where Thursday/Friday are the highlight of my week just in anticipation of Pluto stuff. So I'll be a little dissapointed if we just get sunlight artifacts again but there is so much data not yet downlinked to look forward to anyway smile.gif

A couple of strange Pluto pics published now:

Not immediately sure what they are showing, and which imaging sequence they are from.

EDIT: P_HIPHASE_HIRES apparently, thanks.

If I recall correctly, P_HIPHASE_HIRES is supposed to be the highest surface resolution we'll get.
Edit: Here's that second one with the brightness stretched:

Slightly lower than the highest, I think. A good second spot. Unless we have been looking at different information.

A quick processed version of the frame just, ahem, "left" of the volcano-thingy:

My version of the brighter of those two frames.

I mostly dismissed the location of this image because there is no context. However, the thought crossed my mind and I think the nearby bright features are part of Piccard Mons. In this view, we would be looking toward the South Pole.

I'm confused. According to this schedule http://www.unmannedspaceflight.com/index.p...st&id=38231 there were two observations called P_HIPHASE_HIRES. But one was taken by MVIC and one by LORRI, the LORRI version presumably being the one uploaded to the LORRI images page. But aren't the images released yesterday a part of the MVIC-not LORRI- mosaic we got a few weeks ago? http://www.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/th...arge_bright.jpg.

And according to that schedule LORRI's P_HIPHASE_HIRES is the highest resolution image taken of Pluto. yet previous comments say it isn't. Please help me understand sad.gif
ZLD
The MVIC image previously released is a single capture, not a mosaic. LORRI was capturing images during and around the same time as the MVIC capture.

Also, oops on the twilight bit. Too bad. Really hoping we get to see some more LORRI shots just below the lit limb soon.

SaturnsMoonTitan -

There are a number of different sources of information for exactly what images where taken and when and and what resolution. While they mostly agree there are some small discrepancies because until the flyby took places there were uncertainties about the exact timings of closest approach.

The table you are referencing was created by me based mainly on the information on the JPL website Flyby page... see here

This page gives the LORRI images taken just after closest approach as being ever so slightly higher resolution than those taken before. But I have seen other sources that had it the other way round. Presumably the New Horizons guys know exactly what resolutions we ended up getting but I haven't see the information released.

And as ZLD says, the LORRI images released yesterday on the SOC site are NOT part of the MVIC image, but a separate strip taken around the same time of the same area.

PIA20155: Ice Volcanoes on Pluto?

Somewhat higher resolution than the image downloaded back in July, and with some additional terrain included, perhaps part of 220 m/px images taken in the following imaging pass.

ETA: the 412m/px image for comparison:
