New pics starting to come in. This is the first and isn't great but I gave it some contrast to bring out some detail.

Looks like Pluto is a rocky world. That would account for its low albedo................

That looks like a major divot at the north pole. Could be the light shading though.

Actually I think that pic was the last one taken before NH stopped communicating for the pass. They just uploaded it to the site this morning though.
Looks like a mix of rock and ice. Certainly different than anything else we’ve seen in the solar system.

It will be of major interest to see higher resolution photos of that....at first glance that could be the deepest canyon on the solar system

If that is a seismic feature it must have nearly split Pluto.
I guess we'll have to wait to hear what the composition of the surface is as observed. It looks like rock and solid material but the "settled science" has been a metal core with frozen gasses on the surface.

Interesting that they would call the instrument the “Ralph”, being that the guy who built the first machine to transmit the first color pictures of Jupiter from pioneer 10 & 11... his name was Ralph.

Well, as the next post goes, Ralph was responsible for the first human trip to the Moon, well before Apollo.
