Re: APOD: Unusual Pits Discovered on Pluto (2015 Nov 25)
This is one of those irritating pics where one simply cannot force one's eyes to see craters, no matter how one orientates one's head or the image. Like previous entry, all I see are pellets strewn over the surface! Oddly enough, if I go to one of the links http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/jpegMod/...

So, neufer, the detector doesn't work in air and couldn't be used on earth to find anything? What, it's too sensitive?

Re: Life on Mars
Even though the Beach Boys sang of good vibrations, there's no such thing when it comes to Hubble imaging. IF it's attached to anything, especially the ISS, it's going to be producing a lot of blurry pictures.
