Right.. so why is this info missing from the report.?.
They have to analyze the data. There is already some data out there from prior spectral analysis of the natural plume, but that would have been coming from near the surface. Water and carbon compounds are known.
It's the first time they ever collected such data. They are going to want all their pertinent scientists agree on the interpretation of the data so they don't have to make any embarassing retractions and corrections. Do you think all those scientists are working today? Happy 4th of July!
I just saw a guy from NASA on the news. He said they would take a month going over the data. They will be downloading data from the fly-by craft for next 10 days. They are comparing it to data collected from observatories on earth and in space, e.g. Hubble, Chandra, etc.
