July 2015 Challenge- A Voyage to Pluto

Post by JamesKer1 »

Official Monthly Challenge for July 2015
Brought to you by the Community Team


CLICK HERE TO JOIN WAITING GAMES

Pluto is the tenth most massive body directly orbiting the Sun, and the second most massive known dwarf planet. It is made primarily of rock and ice, and occasionally crosses paths with Neptune on its orbit around the sun. These two bodies will be kept from colliding due to an orbital resonance. Pluto was discovered in 1930, and originally considered the ninth planet from the Sun. Due to the discovery of new icy planetlike formations around Pluto, including the scattered disc object Eris, the International Astronomical Union redefined what constitutes a planet- excluding Pluto from that classification.

On July 14, a spacecraft called New Horizon will fly past Pluto in our first attempt to map it. The spacecraft will send back images of an alien landscape with stark features, including mountains, craters, and other landforms that were previously unknown. To support this event, members of ConquerClub will celebrate with three space themed maps- Space, Solar System, and All Your Base Are Belong To Us (in hopes of finding Aliens on Pluto, of course!).


NO SIGN-UPS REQUIRED - Everyone is eligible!

Avie is changed mate. Not cool :-). I have an image to uphold. This thing isn't very stealthy like. But wife and daughter approve, so you win.

Plus, your incentive is too much to pass up.

You know where to send the Yellow Star.

Thanks kindly for looking after things mate.
Sorry, I've had to suspend my campaigns indefinitely.

Fixed :oops: Auto correct I'm hoping, because I definitely am not that incoherent (at least I thought!)

Can't get this thing to work! Already messed up one and stealth pointed it out to me. Hopefully third times the charm! It will be updated soon.
