Porter: Must decide on Kuiper belt target later this year. MU69 requires less initial deltaV but fainter, may need later targeting #LPSC2014
Thompson: Rocks at Pahrump chemically distinct from all others at Gale, more altered. Ca leached away, Mg sulfate deposited. #LPSC2014
Video: Apollo 15 Commander Dave Scott's Masursky Lecture from #LPSC2014. Fun stories, great speaker. www.planetary.org/blogs/emily-lakdawalla/2...
The Curious Case of Active Volcanism on Venus - guest post by Constantine Tsang #LPSC2014 www.planetary.org/blogs/guest-blogs/2014/0...
My last (planned) post from #LPSC2014: Titan's land of lakes www.planetary.org/blogs/emily-lakdawalla/2...
Snapshots of science from the 2014 Lunar and Planetary Science Conference www.planetary.org/blogs/emily-lakdawalla/2... #LPSC2014
Today is the day when I attempt to make sense of my *16,000 words* of notes from #LPSC2014
While we were all busy at #LPSC2014, the @MarsCuriosity mission publicly released the science data from sols 360-449 http://an.rsl.wustl.edu/
A report from #LPSC2014: Water-carved gullies on Vesta!? www.planetary.org/blogs/emily-lakdawalla/2... (Dawn pic processed by Bjorn Jonsson) http://t.co/3E3Z1NxjPP
Levy: Extensive glacial ice deposits on Mars amounts to global layer of water 2.3m thick. Required ~710Ma to form, ended 110Ma ago #LPSC2014
It's the final #LPSC2014 session! This afternoon I'm reporting on ground ice from Mars.
Struggling to decide what to blog about from #LPSC2014. Lots of incremental developments requiring lots of explanation & context.
MT @RobertBurnham: Meridiani Planum, home of Opportunity, will see 2nd spacecraft, ESA Schiaparelli lander http://bit.ly/1oG6xLB #LPSC2014
Treiman urges caution in suggesting muscovite and topaz on Mars. Would require deep burial/melting of clay-rich sediments #LPSC2014
Forni: Fluorine detected for first time on Mars by Chemcam, to a few wt%. Could be in fluorite, apatite, muscovite, topaz... #LPSC2014
Franz: del34S SAM measured in Cumberland drill sample is negative, "way outside the range" of Martian meteorites. Lab work ongoing #LPSC2014
Heather Franz just presented some intriguing-sounding sulfur isotope results from SAM that I wish I understood better. #LPSC2014
Science Mag on conferences: "Presentation at a meeting will in no way affect a decision on a manuscript." www.sciencemag.org/site/feature/contribinfo... #LPSC2014
Both organics-on-Mars #LPSC2014 talks were embargoed, but were barely different from what they presented at #DPS2013 www.planetary.org/blogs/emily-lakdawalla/2...
Presenters: for the love of all that's holy, do not flash conclusion slide for 5 seconds then cut away to acknowledgements slide #LPSC2014
Reporting for duty from the very last day of #LPSC2014. Today for me: Mars. I hope someone's tweeting comet ISON results from other room!
A late night at #LPSC2014 but there are two talks on organics detected by Curiosity tomorrow at 8:30am. They better be worth getting up for!
Planetary scientists to the right, to the right, to the right… #AZparty #LPSC2014 #thatshowwedoit http://t.co/QinzzroCAg
And here is @sondy with her 3D-printed models of a binary asteroid zapped by @AreciboRadar #LPSC2014 http://t.co/glHpNtN8Ps
R. Thomas shows pyroclastic volcanism has happened on Mercury pretty much throughout its geologic history #LPSC2014 http://t.co/yBikI7zEFY
.@barbylon has a super awesome potassium-argon dating instrument proposal for Mars 2020 rover. I sure hope it gets selected!! #LPSC2014
Always a pleasure to meet charter members of The Planetary Society (members since 1980). Have met a couple at #LPSC2014!
Paul Schenk always has the prettiest maps of the iciest moons in the solar system! #LPSC2014 http://t.co/8YLspTBR3w
I asked Rachel Stevenson why @WISE_Mission is discovering mostly big NEOs. They don't know, may be small-number statistics #LPSC2014
Sutter: experimental work suggests that the chlorine-bearing minerals tasted by Curiosity SAM may be chlorates, not perchlorates. #LPSC2014
