"New" images from pluto

I know it doesn't fit the up to date definition of a planet but I my mind partly having grown up with it as such it will always be a planet.

Love these photos. The variety in topography make it so much more of a planet to me than say Ceres.

These pictures are just awesome.

Interesting stuff, thanks Steve.

I like the animation of the views of Pluto through the years. It has been just the tiniest featureless blob for 80 odd years and suddenly now we see it in great detail like looking at our moon with a scope in the backyard :)
