tkdguy Posted November 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 Has anyone suggested naming this hypothetical planet, "Cronus?" Sounds like a good idea. But Saturn is the Roman name for Cronus. Then again, Hera (asteroid) and Juno (moon) are both used in our solar system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 Interesting things coming out at the Division of Planetary Sciences meeting in DC this week. A new "most distant Solar System object", ice volcanoes on Pluto, seem to have hit the press today. Expect more through the week. L.

Cancer Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 Unfortunately, a lot of this stuff won't have the associated technical papers become available for months, unfortunately. So unless you actually see the poster, or the authors hang it out somewhere you can grab it, you have to wait for the hard information.

I am not certain if everyone can get to that, or if I can only because I have old AAS member cookies lying around. L. Marcus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not certain if everyone can get to that, or if I can only because I have old AAS member cookies lying around. Your links work just fine. No idea if I pointed it out before, but you can easily delete cookies. Or just try a different browser. Every browser has thier own cookies storage (kind of a big issue for Web Delevopers). I mean IE/Edge has to be good for something if it takes up diskspace anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
