Starting Day 2 in the DART session. At #LPSC2022, there was so much talk about how cool DART was going to be. At #LPSC2023, there were so many pretty pix/early results of DART giving Dimorphos the old 1-2. Now at #LPSC2024 it’s on to the serious detective work of what DART found.

#LPSC2022 Paul Byrne presenting compelling morphological evidence that big tessera plateaux on Venus are same as ancient cratons on Earth.
Suggests subdction. Maybe Venus tesserae have deep crustal keel that got pushed around by mantle convection.

Old
Geologically mangled
Thick crust region
Some age gradients along edges as other terrains glommed on.

Maybe can study Earth cretins and compare/ contrast with Venus.

We often share the stories of our missions across the solar system, but what happens to data collected by the spacecraft? It lives in the Planetary Data System (PDS), a long-term archive of data products returned from NASA's planetary missions pds.nasa.gov #LPSC2022 pic.twitter.com/H6jhn3CQik https://twitter.com/NASASolarSystem/status/1501277867606523906

It's a Simon & Garfunkel & Bowie Remix !
