News services have been busy lately reporting on the most recent feat of America's national space agency's resounding
success with its interplanetary space probe's closest encounter with our solar system's most remote [minor] planet.
Prior to the flyby, even the most powerful Earth- and space-based telescopes could never resolve more than a few lightly
contrasted splotches on the celestial orb's surface, and its largest moon was a few pixels worth of indeterminate
light. All that changed on July 14, 2015. We now have, for the first time ever, high resolution images of the surface,
and are in the process of collection terabits worth of additional physical data from onboard instruments. No doubt
many Ph.D.'s will be earned through assimilation and study of this information.
I will be glad to create a special edition crossword for your newspaper, newsletter, etc.
