52 miles diameter? Cool. Looks like it’s. had a rough life. It’s amazing we have the Science and technology to see this.

Anyone been watching NatGeo’s Mars docudrama? I’ve really enjoyed it. Very well done. I sure hope to see manned space exploration again in my lifetime. But they need to get moving!

Until they can consistently land a golf cart safely, I wouldn’t want to put people up there (mars).

Pandora looks more like a slightly oversized asteroid instead of a moon. Or maybe a comet that hasn’t flared, yet.

Someone teach me why an irregular mass should tend toward a sphere because of its own gravity. The surface parts closest to the center of mass will experience the greatest pull toward the center while those farthest from the center will experience the smallest pull. To me it seems as if would work against forming a sphere.
