That's some far-away pixels.

For extra credit, calculate the diameter of the mirror needed on an Earth-based telescope in order to generate that level of resolution.

'It's really only the size of Washington D.C....'

And just as useless.

Perhaps we have found the home planet of Her Thighness?

21 miles? Not quite long enough to host a marathon.

Simon,

They are lying to us.

We have not solved the problem of getting through the Van Allen radiation belts that kill living beings.

We have not solved the problem of getting through the thermosphere whose temperatures are significantly higher than needed to melt the metals in the spacecraft.

So, no go.

This is all CGI.

Couple pieces of coal and a carrot and you’d have something.

[devane617]

Very cool stuff. America has shown its might again.

I think we are still getting images from the Voyagers 1 and 2. I checked on them on NASA web site, they are almost to interstellar space and we are still getting data from them.

[vannrox]

Ah this is very interesting stuff. Don’t ya think?

This Ultima picture is much to do about nothing. Just chunks of asteroid-like rock - what’s the different between this and other asteroids of our solar system. A lot of hoopla (and money), and sound and fury, signifying nothing.
