New Horizons

So this is what Pluto looks like, to the best of our current knowledge:

I, for one, think that this isn't really much of a picture.

So who's ready for NASA's New Horizons craft to send back better ones in less than two weeks?
 
Pluto is my favorite planet (stupid International Astronomical Union...) and I'm very excited for this mission to reach the planet. Revealing the mysteries such as the fact that Pluto is reddish brown makes me really excited. I know one night this month I'm not sleeping...
 
I, for one, am a firm believer that Pluto is the 9th planet and that there are 9 planets in the Solar System. New Horizons' pictures of Pluto being released will probably be the most important moment of my life.
 
They've known the color for years, so...

Also news to me are Pluto's moons. They've known about Charon for a while, and I found out about Nyx and Hydra for a few years, and then, holy crap, it has three more?
 
Cronaal:
Such a small dwarf-planet seems so interesting now we've gotten close to it.
It's a planet. Always has been, always will be. #SavePluto
