#PI_Daily Tomorrow’s @NewHorizons2015 highlight will be a data driven meeting to compare cosmic ray records from multiple different instruments as we crossed the solar system 2006-2020. Nothing quite like what we are doing tomorrow has ever been done!

#Plutonews of the day, from the PI of the unique dedicated #Pluto mission in the history!
It seems we'll soon need to update our relevant article:

#PI_Daily Like every mission PI, it’s a very rare day when I don't work on my mission, @NewHorizons2015 . But also like every PI I know, it’s a rare day when I don’t work on other things too. Today I'm working on two proposals and a future mission study—Pluto orbiter!

That's pretty much the idea behind the planet/dwarf planet categorization made by IAU in 2006.
What do you think? Do you find it legitimate?

A brief demonstration of 4.5 billion years of #Pluto System.
You might remember a similar story: One where headliners are our home and the #Moon with fewer leftover debris.

A cool drawing illustrating #Pluto's strata and a possible ocean.
Pluto's silicate core actually takes up about 70% of its volume.

Curling stone member of Pluto family: #Hydra
This image is processed by Roman Tkachenko & it reveals more details about the weird shaped moon than usual New Horizons images.
Hydra is approximately 260k times smaller than #Pluto.

#Pluto was "officially" discovered in 1930.
On our below article, we mentioned there could be another story from 1925.

Comparison of #Earth's & Pluto's axial tilts.
#Pluto's extreme axial tilt throughout its never ending orbit (248 years/tour) around the Sun make the seasons longer and weirder in the brown planet.

#PI_Daily Closing out the week working on our next phase of Kuiper Belt exploration, farther & farther out from the Sun. While you enjoy the day & the weekend ahead, @NASANewHorizons will plow 2+ million miles deeper into this ancient realm, collecting data. #Science #NASA #Space

[Alan Stern @AlanStern]

#PI_Daily Working today on an @NewHorizons2015 study of what’s at the bottom of the thousands of mysterious multi-kilometer long pits that dot Pluto’s Sputnik Planitia.

Why are the pit bottoms dark? No one knows….just yet.
