Re: NASA's New Horizon Reveals Pluto's Snakeskin Surface
@SunitaT0,
That, in itself, is an issue of some interest to me. What makes understanding one phenomenon more important (or more difficult) than another? Choosing one mission over another for NASA staff must be a bit like choosing one child over another. This is my first time hearing about the lights on Ceres, but I was interested, so I looked up a bit about them. The images of them are striking. It seems the two main theories are some kind of gas expulsion, or reflection from some material (like ice or salt). I do see how one could be skeptical of these explanations - don't other planets/bodies have both those features without such bright spots? But, I'm no astrophysicist - perhaps someone with more knowledge can enlighten.
