I can barely believe it... Discovered in 1930, three billion miles away (it'd take you 5,700 years to drive there in your car @ 60mph - IF you could do it), and here we are flying by it 85 years later!

Mission scientists have found Pluto to be 1,473 miles (2,370 kilometers) in diameter, somewhat larger than many prior estimates. [...] Pluto is larger than all other known solar system objects beyond the orbit of Neptune. Hmmm... does this mean that Pluto could be upgraded - back to being a "planet"?

How Big Is Pluto? Bigger than Mickey, but not as big as Goofy.
