Watching NASA live and got nothing more on this yet. Wonder what the hold up is?

The space craft is 4 billion miles away. At that distance, the data transmission rate is about a 100 baud and is going to take over 20 months to download all the data.

I was just wondering if the above distorted image is all we are going to get, or is a closer better image from the fly by yet to come?

I’m going by all the “watch new horizon picture it as it flies by live” headlines. lol
