If that's not bad enough, they're not saying when the first flyby pictures will be released. I hope a least one will be released at this evening's 7:00 check in. But possibly not until later. In fact, it's going to take 16 *months* to get it all back. Ugh! patrick On 14 Jul 2015, at 05:47, Chuck Hards <chuck.hards@gmail.com> wrote:
Watching NASA TV right now, the spacecraft won't be checking back in with Mission Control until 9PM Eastern time, tonight. Gonna be a long day!

Well, it's finally there. It's all happening now.
Those dark markings that I thought might be shadows now look to be dark basins. Frozen hydrocarbon seas, perhaps?
Hopefully we'll get some good pictures before the data transmission picture moratorium kicks-in.
