close flyby of the moon Miranda 61 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:32,390 the close flyby of the moon Miranda proved to be one of the most exciting 62 00:01:32,390 --> 00:01:32,400 proved to be one of the most exciting 63 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,580 proved to be one of the most exciting highlights of the encounter according to 64 00:01:34,580 --> 00:01:34,590 highlights of the encounter according to 65 00:01:34,590 --> 00:01:38,210 highlights of the encounter according to Voyager project manager dick laser we 66 00:01:38,210 --> 00:01:38,220 Voyager project manager dick laser we 67 00:01:38,220 --> 00:01:40,190 Voyager project manager dick laser we had worked so hard to make sure that 68 00:01:40,190 --> 00:01:40,200 had worked so hard to make sure that 69 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,340 had worked so hard to make sure that those frames as those pictures would be 70 00:01:43,340 --> 00:01:43,350 those frames as those pictures would be 71 00:01:43,350 --> 00:01:45,889 those frames as those pictures would be exactly where we wanted them when that 72 00:01:45,889 --> 00:01:45,899 exactly where we wanted them when that 73 00:01:45,899 --> 00:01:50,539 exactly where we wanted them when that when the first of the series the miranda 74 00:01:50,539 --> 00:01:50,549 when the first of the series the miranda 75 00:01:50,549 --> 00:01:53,870 when the first of the series the miranda images amen and it clipped the corner of 76 00:01:53,870 --> 00:01:53,880 images amen and it clipped the corner of 77 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,990 images amen and it clipped the corner of the satellite just where it was supposed 78 00:01:56,990 --> 00:01:57,000 the satellite just where it was supposed 79 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,959 the satellite just where it was supposed to it was that sense of oh my god we did 80 00:01:59,959 --> 00:01:59,969 to it was that sense of oh my god we did 81 00:01:59,969 --> 00:02:02,120 to it was that sense of oh my god we did it and then I started looking at the 82 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:02,130 it and then I started looking at the 83 00:02:02,130 --> 00:02:04,700 it and then I started looking at the substance of the pictures that varied 84 00:02:04,700 --> 00:02:04,710 substance of the pictures that varied 85 00:02:04,710 --> 00:02:06,120 substance of the pictures that varied topography 86 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:06,130 topography 87 00:02:06,130 --> 00:02:09,910 topography really wild stuff Miranda is a blend of 88 00:02:09,910 --> 00:02:09,920 really wild stuff Miranda is a blend of 89 00:02:09,920 --> 00:02:12,130 really wild stuff Miranda is a

according to Voyager project scientist dr. edward stone what was surprising was 98 00:02:19,780 --> 00:02:19,790 dr. edward stone what was surprising was 99 00:02:19,790 --> 00:02:23,730 dr. edward stone what was surprising was the extent and the diversity of the 100 00:02:23,730 --> 00:02:23,740 the extent and the diversity of the 101 00:02:23,740 --> 00:02:26,080 the extent and the diversity of the geologic processes which were evident on 102 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:26,090 geologic processes which were evident on 103 00:02:26,090 --> 00:02:28,180 geologic processes which were evident on
