What the heck are those giant lumps? Pluto is about 1400 miles across, those lumps are therefore about 200 miles across, gigantic for such a small planet.

They aren't lumps. They are dark areas (like lunar maria).

I don’t know, but this is exciting stuff. To think that within the next month we’ll have close-ups is remarkable!
