Pretty bleak looking. Quick factoid: Pluto is about 2/3 the size of Earth’s moon.

I can rattle off a half dozen reasons why Pluto should not be a planet. And listen to dozens of reasons why it should. But still it’s worth half a billion dollars to just see what it looks like.

I’m glad it’s Pluto in True Color, and not Uranus in True Color. That would be disgusting.

I often enjoy these Astronomy Picture of the Day. It almost has me working toward a Gastronomy Picture of the Day, too.
