Does your research involve impact craters? Checkout the PCC's website planetarycraterconsortium.na…. The annual meeting is great way to connect with other crater researchers, and learn about the latest work. The schedule and abstracts from previous meetings are available on our site.

#UltimaThule, now in stereo! The @NASANewHorizons science team created the first stereo image pair of Ultima Thule. This image can be viewed with stereo (3D) glasses to reveal the unique Kuiper Belt object's three-dimensional shape. bit.ly/ultima-thule2

RIGHT NOW, @NewHorizons2015 is as close to Ultima as the Moon is to Earth. In 7 hours we'll be at closest approach and as close as LA is to DC! #NASA #Space #Science #UltimaFlyby #UltimaThule
