... The remote planet Pluto and its moon Charon orbit the Sun at a mean distance of almost 6,000 million kilometres, or nearly fourty times farther out than the Earth. During a recent investigation by an international group of astronomers [1], the best picture ever of Pluto and Charon [2] was secured with the European Space Agency's Faint Object Camera at the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). ... The new HST image was taken when Charon was near its maximum elongation from Pluto (0.9 arcseconds). ...

... The value of tile-size, NW , may be thought of as a sixth coordinate axis in the chirplet transform parameter space - TF-area. Including this sixth coordinate axis provides us with a hierarchical (multi-resolution) CCT. ... Various 2- D slices through the multiresolution CCT may correspond to useful tilings of the TF plane with true parallelograms (true to the extent that the DPSS define a truly rectangular region in the TF plane). ...
