BTW, that light curve is from an organization of amateur astronomers watching Tabby's star !!!
Would you even notice if your living room light fixture suddenly dimmed 2% ??

July 10 is another occultation by MU69. This one will be observed (hopefully) by the Sophia airborne observatory.
This will be a wonderful prelude to the New Horizons flyby. Any wisp of atmosphere, any sign of rings, or maybe it's a binary or double lobe object has a good chance of being discerned.
Very helpful to know everything possible so the NH flyby can be planned as best as possible.

The fact that this is a Chinese project should worry the USians. But some Austrian institutes are involved, so it's not like the West isn't taking part in this crucial technology.

Trump just appointed Jerry Falwell Jr to help revamp U.S. higher education. So I expect us to get stupider for awhile. Hope the rest of you will share the discoveries with us. Thank in advance.
