PLUTO!

[nonbeliever314]

Amazing. And we'll see even better images soon. This gave me a lump in my throat this morning when I woke up and did my daily "What's new with Pluto today" routine I've been doing for the past 2 weeks.

I hate to inform you of this, but Pluto has been demoted.

She was found being in company with ... well ... others like her.

Yeah, I know it's not the ninth planet anymore. Does that make it any less awe inspiring?

AV, don't be so harsh on Pluto. Pluto loves you... see the heart?

And here's hoping we get some missions to view the rest of the awesome little ice balls out there in the dark.

Dwarf planets might not be planets, like rocky planets or gas giants, but they are still very interesting.

Thanks for posting the great photo. It sounds like there are some awesome close-ups coming. They'll probably find my television remote there...I've looked everywhere else for it.

No prob. That image was taken if I remember correctly about twice the distance the moon is from the Earth. 450k miles-ish. It's closest approach was roughly just 7k miles, so the images will have a resolution of like 100 meters per pixel.

Ask those who rigged a vote to demote her.

She's saying she forgives scientists for their indiscretions.

Yes, indeed.

Commanders demoted to Lt. Commanders can still wear impressive insignia, can't they?

I think I got it.

All I can get with it is CatholicTV Network!

So science gets it wrong again. If Pluto isn't a planet, what's that thing? CheckMATE evolution!

Yes, that's the one!

Well, it's really the appropriate rank for an officer who spends some of his time just lurking in Commander Neptune's shadow.

LOL -- good one!

Craters
Strange craters with inner ring-ridge
Volcanoes
Long rift valleys similar to that on Mars
The big white patch is likely to be sand field
Eroded, rounded, isolated mounds
Flooded seas (by water or lava)

It looks like the Pluto is very similar to Mars, only at wrong orbit.

Why do you seem so bitter? Is it because "Science can take a hike"?. If science can take a hike, why are you using a computer?

If you ask him, he'll claim he only means that science doesn't apply to miracles and divine intervention (a position I'm fairly sure every Christian subscribes to), but of course his constant diatribes against science and scientists kind of hint at something deeper.
