I want to show our mosaic of the pluto system. This has twice the resolution of the previous best global image and its just mouthwatering. The level of detail is spectacular. This image has a resolution of about 2. 2 kilometers per pixel. Just looking at it you can tell as our science team can that pluto has a very complicated story to tell. Pluto has a very interesting history, and theres a lot of work that we need to do to understand this very complicated place. I want to stress that. I want to drive it home by showing you this image of higher magnification. If i can go to the next set were going to look at just the northern half of that image. We can easily blow it up even further, and you can see across the northern terrains here which include the north pole, by the way this is a true color image. Essentially true color as your i might see it a whole range of geologic expression. Kathy and bill will be talking about this quite a bit more, so i will not steal their thunder but just
The below listed as an employee. But they do. This does present all the way is to look at this. But im just not sure how large those are. Thank you. Good to see you again. Can we connect a couple of big picture items with a challenge to drive that . To the extent that these are connected a very big issue that has arisen to focus some of the shortterm. Corporations somehow have capital that should be enhancing the technology to show better quarterly results. There are two different issues. Ive tried not to get too obsessed but lets get though longer term trend so i certainly tried to take a prospective to understand what is going on in in the economy. Which is at the heart of the question is an important thing to be had and i was talking before with basic research that we would under invested in but the business will still not investing enough. But that is by finding funding is so important. If you put that into research and development that is terrific also. Led to think the longer run
Us pluto has a haze layer in its atmosphere and mike is going to tell you more about it. Thank you alan. Good afternoon, everyone. Mr. Summers alan. Im going to talk about two new results on the atmosphere that are basically changing the way that we think about the atmosphere. Could i have the first graphic please . This is one of our first images of plutos atmosphere. This was the image that stunned the encounter team. For 25 years, weve known that pluto has an atmosphere, but it has been known by numbers. This is our first picture. This is the first time we have really seen it. This was the image that almost brought tears to the eyes of the atmospheric scientist on the team. What i want to tell you now is what we are seeing here this is the atmosphere. The light, the crescent you are seeing is sunlight scattered by small particles in the atmosphere, and these particles constitute a haze layer. This is a crosssection of that haze layer showing structure. The colors have then enhanced.
The heart on pluto and what looked like massive tectonic features both radially emanating as well as others that run more or less northsouth. You will hear more about that later. I do want to tell you about one aspect of the interpretation weve been making over the last week they looking more carefully at the imagery. Like a real heart, it has two loads on the left and right side. The left is the western side and i think even to your eye, you can distinction difference tween those two. The right lobe looks like a much thinner deposit that has been painted on the topography. Our interpretation of that material in the right lobe as well as the material imitating to the south below the western lobe is that in both cases, we believe the source with that material is the western lobe probably nitrogen snow is being transported off source region of the western lobe, but perhaps by wind and alien transport perhaps by sublimation and wind and recondensation or perhaps by a process we have not t
Very good morning and warm welcome to you on Worldwide Exchange kicking off now on cnbc. Im wilfred frost with kayla sitting in for sara. Good morning. I like that youre playing the weekend music. Gets you in the mood. Even though it is 5 00 a. M. It is basically the weekend. Lets see what the markets are doing now. U. S. Equities open lower, gained traction throughout the day. Finished about a quarter of 1 higher. This morning, pretty much bang on flat in the premarket, s p slightly in red, treading water ahead of the jobs number which comes later today. All eyes on that and the implications for what it means for possible fed rate hikes. Lets look at the tenyear note, what is the bond market doing this morning. Were bang on 108. We just have come down on the yield. Seen a little bond buying during the course of the week, close to 1. 9 earlier in the week, now at 1. 8 . Everything rests on todays big market story, the u. S. Employment report, forecasters say the economy likely added 15
