>>”it will take 16 months to receive all the pictures”<<

I know it’s not in anybody’s budget, but I’d love to see something like this happening every month, and eventually every week. There certainly are enough places out there to explore! Sigh... someday...

Pluto is a “dwarf planet”. There are many similar small bodies in the Kuiper Belt.

Thank you thank you thank you thank you.

You rock, Sir. I was offline for two days due to surgery, home now recouping, and catching up on Pluto.

It’s breathtaking and I’m speechless.

Well, I can surely empathize with you regarding the New York Times. The upside is that none of this was political and we got to suck some good resources out of the Slimes.

First super-hi res images of Pluto at 3 p.m. EDT during a NASA press conference. Then we will find out exactly what Pluto looks like in hi-def. (H/T: Roy W. Spencer)
