'goids on Pluto

drkaii · Jul 15, 2015

Uh guys, on the NASA Pluto page, there was a brief link to "the first hi resolution image of Pluto", but the thumbnail didn't load. I clicked it anyway, and after an age the page stopped loading and was blank. It was this page btw: http://solarsystem.nasa.gov/multimedia/gallery/201507150001HQ.jpg

Tried saving it and I get an image but it's blank. Obviously they took it down.

They've now removed the link to the page (which was on: http://solarsystem.nasa.gov/multimedia/gallery.cfm?Category=Planets&Object=Pluto)

NASA. WHAT DID YOU SEE

I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you.

Probably Mickey and Donald

Nevermind, the image finally resolved. It's of a bunch of NASA guys looking at a mac. WHY ARE SCIENTISTS USING MACS

and why did they title the image "First Pluto Flyby images"

Anyway, this thread will get moderated anytime now and moved somewhere dark and danky. Nice knowing you

That's what it is now. It's not what it was then.

The first hi-res pic is here http://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/e543b...er/1041.jpg?w=1065&q=85&auto=format&sharp=10& at least.

I thought it already had been moved - some of it, anyway - to the astronomy forum.

That page just says "unauthorized" for me. I hope that means the pic shows the ruins of an alien space station on Pluto and the pic is not for the general public to see. Or maybe something more mundane..

It's the first one here: http://www.theguardian.com/science/...images-from-new-horizons-released-in-pictures

Perhaps they don't like linking direct to the expanded picture because that hides the ads or something.
