that data is being redacted
NASA’s hiding the evidence because if people found out it was artificial, they’d demand another mission to learn more about it, and NASA would get a huge influx of money and resources, which they don’t want to happen because … uh … because the government!
Ha! That’s pretty much what I always thought about the idea that there’s a Giant Face On Mars, and NASA Is Covering It Up.
“Doctor, this is evidence of intelligent life on Mars–life that was either humanoid, or quite possibly was attempting to send us a message. Do you realize the implications of this?”
“Oh my God…Congress would give us unlimited funding! It would make the Apollo Program look like a rounding error!”
“Exactly! And we must, of course, avoid such an outcome at all costs.”
Anyway, you go, New Horizons! I am eagerly awaiting more data (especially pretty pictures, because I’m not actually a scientist).
“Ultima” is much flatter than previously thought:

Apparently the name “Thule” has an unacceptable association with the Nazis, so its official name is now “Arrokoth”, which a NA word that means “sky”.
Analysis of Arrokoth seems to support the idea of planet formation via streaming instability, as opposed to hierarchical accretion. Interesting Sci-Am piece.
Isn’t that the Warcraft expansion where you play a scholar who runs farming spreadsheets all day?
So “streaming instability” is responsible for the Solar System as we know it. Didn’t know Comcast had been around that long.
Now it sounds like some kind of Hittite demon.
