Not as many meteorite craters as I would have imagined, interesting.

Really expected it to look more like a Lunar landscape.

I think that photo was taken from some 13,000 miles out with the telescopic instrument.

Video here.

Glad you asked. :')
To Pluto -- And Far Beyond "To Pluto And Far Beyond" By David H. Levy, Parade, January 15, 2006 -- We don't have a dictionary definition yet that includes all the contingencies. In the wake of the new discovery, however, the International Astronomical Union has set up a group to develop a workable definition of planet. For our part, in consultation with several experienced planetary astronomers, Parade offers this definition: A planet is a body large enough that, when it formed, it condensed under its own gravity to be shaped like a sphere. It orbits a star directly and is not a moon of another planet.
