Pluto and it’s moon Charion on are very strange places.

Pluto was such a spectacular surprise once we were shown those beautiful close up pictures a few years back.
This image is no exception.

When I first saw these photos I thought they looked like Hollywood fakes. The New Horizons probe could only download data slowly so it was weeks before everything got published.

Pluto was demoted from planet status but Plutonium is still element #94 . The power source for the probe? Plutonium, of course!
