    A Planet for All Seasons | Pluto New Horizons
    https://blogs.nasa.gov/pluto/2015/10/23/a-planet-for-all-seasons/

    Pluto’s diverse surface, typified by the smooth bright plains of Sputnik Planum being adjacent to the dark terrains of Cthulhu, defies any easy explanation for how it got that way. In my work, I am trying to explore how “seasons” on Pluto might be part of the explanation.

    There are two reasons for Pluto having seasons. The first is for the same reason that Earth has seasons. The second is unique to objects with elongated orbits, like Pluto.

    Gored Clump in Saturn's F Ring
    http://www.nasa.gov/image-feature/jpl/cassini/pia18337/gored-clump-in-saturns-f-ring

    Saturn's dynamic F ring contains many different types of features to keep scientists perplexed. In this image we see features ring scientists call "gores," to the right of the bright clump, and a "jet," to the left of the bright spot.

    Thanks to the ring's interaction with the moons Prometheus and Pandora, and perhaps a host of smaller moonlets hidden in its core, the F ring is a constantly changing structure, with features that form, fade and re-appear on timescales of hours to days.

    Dawn data from Ceres publicly released: Finally, color global portraits! | The Planetary Society
    http://www.planetary.org/blogs/emily-lakdawalla/2015/10221314-dawn-data-from-ceres-publicly.html

    A few days ago, Dawn officially released the first big pile of data from the Ceres mission phase. The Framing Camera portion of the release amounts to roughly 4500 images. The data release includes everything through "Rotation Characterization 3," when Dawn was about 14,000 kilometers above Ceres and could still see the whole globe in a single photo.

    This is huge news, because for reasons I've never understood, the Dawn mission has yet to release a color global portrait of Ceres. But there is a ton of data to make color global portraits, and now that it's been released, amateur image processors can do that! So, without further ado: the first views of Ceres as they might look to your eyes, if you were riding aboard Dawn.

    Pluto in 3-D
    https://www.nasa.gov/image-feature/pluto-in-3-d

    Global stereo mapping of Pluto’s surface is now possible, as images taken from multiple directions are downlinked from NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft. Stereo images will eventually provide an accurate topographic map of most of the hemisphere of Pluto seen by New Horizons during the July 14 flyby, which will be key to understanding Pluto’s geological history.

    Cosmic 'Death Star' is destroying a planet
    http://phys.org/news/2015-10-cosmic-death-star-planet.html

    Astronomers announced today that they have spotted a large, rocky object disintegrating in its death spiral around a distant white dwarf star. The discovery also confirms a long-standing theory behind the source of white dwarf "pollution" by metals.

    "This is something no human has seen before," says lead author Andrew Vanderburg of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA). "We're watching a solar system get destroyed."

    The evidence for this unique system came from NASA's Kepler K2 mission, which monitors stars for a dip in brightness that occurs when an orbiting body crosses the star. The data revealed a regular dip every 4.5 hours, which places the object in an orbit about 520,000 miles from the white dwarf (about twice the distance from the Earth to the Moon). It is the first planetary object to be seen transiting a white dwarf.

    Vanderburg and his colleagues made additional observations using a number of ground-based facilities: the 1.2-meter and MINERVA telescopes at Whipple Observatory, the MMT, MEarth-South, and Keck.

    Combining all the data, they found signs of several additional chunks of material, all in orbits between 4.5 and 5 hours. The main transit was particularly prominent, dimming the star by 40 percent. The transit signal also showed a comet-like pattern. Both features suggest the presence of an extended cloud of dust surrounding the fragment. The total amount of material is estimated to be about the mass of Ceres, a Texas-sized object that is the largest main-belt asteroid in our solar system.

    Petr Tomek: Vážení přátelé kosmonautiky! Dovolte abych vás pozval na Říjnovou Kosmoschůzku
    Kosmoschůzka se uskuteční na státní svátek 28. 10. od 18. hodin v salonku restaurace Zorto Nekázanka 6. Praha 1.

    Program: Julie Novakova , Tomáš Petrásek: Život, vesmír a vůbec na EPSC
    Letošní Evropská planetologická konference, která se uskutečnila na přelomu září a října ve francouzském Nantes,
    přinesla celou řadu zajímavých novinek k tématům od aktivní geologie na Marsu, původu Ceres či dějů v Saturnových
    prstencích až po modely procesů v hlubinách oceánských exoplanet. Prezentovány byly i připravované planetární mise,
    jejichž cílem se stanou ledové měsíce Jupiteru i asteroidy ohrožující naši planetu. Představíme dění na konferenci
    i ve stručnosti výběr velmi zajímavých příspěvků a jejich dopady.

    Jaroslav Kousal: Daedalus po 37 letech
    "Realistických" konceptů mezihvězdných lodí a sond už bylo navrženo mnoho, ale jedním z nejpromyšlenějších zůstává
    projekt Daedalus od British Interplanetary Society. Dokázal by doletět ke hvězdám?
