Tvashtar Blows Up

[G-spotter]

The probe has also captured images of volcanic activity on Jupiter's moon Io, including a dust plume more than 240 kilometres high erupting from the volcano Tvashtar.

Was it an anal probe?

Thats what happens when you drink a Greenland-sized marguerita

Was it an anal probe?

Yeah, sounds like it.

[Crux]

Tvash drank a Greenwood-sized margarita and exploded?

you guys better knock it off, or he'll come in here and let some air out of your heads.

[kevbone]

Or better yet. Get this whole thread deleted.

You guys are slow when probes are involved. WeekendClimberz already posted this one.

Go shove a Redbull up your ass, you tool.

 

The New Horizon's probe is the fastest object humanity has ever launched, and probably remain so for the next decade at least. Right now it's doing about 60,000 miles an hour, and that with only a minor gravity assist from Jupiter. It passed the moon 9 hours after launch.

 

Hubble just confirmed the existence of the two new moons it discovered orbiting Pluto last year, for a total of three. That should make for some sweet pix. I hope they've got some really fast film in that camera.
