Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Impossible to see as the probe was on the "away" side of Mercury as it crashed. It would have had about 1,000 pictures all the way to impact that it could not send back due to no line of sight to Earth.

The impact site won't be seen till 2024 when the next probe arrives.
