I just caught it on the simulation. There won't be any new pics for a while due to the craft being too busy to send info back to earth. We'll be getting data for some 16 months.

After 52 years of only hearing the name Pluto and seeing a little star like image, THAT’S BEAUTIFUL!

No more images or data will be transmitted until tomorrow morning, except for a brief signal saying that the probe is still working (some time tonight).
The probe is busy taking data.
A spectacular accomplishment, just to get this photo.

Well, as much as an accomplishment this is for NASA, the WH is concerned no Muzzies were credited with recognition of how Islam was the driving force behind this momentous event...

From live conference:
Dark region is equator
Top-center is north pole of Pluto
Some signs of tectonics
Some impact craters
Thin nitrogen atmosphere
Color variations on surface
Expect much higher resolution photos tomorrow (over 10 times better)
The probe is powered by plutonium (RTG)
Produces 200 Watts of power, loses 3 watts of power per year

Will be transmitting data back to Earth from tomorrow morning until sometime in October 2016 at a rate of 1 kbs to 4 kbs
(should’ve gotten cable instead of dial-up)

Almost looks like a footprint on there, like God had punted it out there.

Something like eight hours for a signal to be sent? Takes that long to reach Earth?

It looks like its got some polar ice there. I wonder what unique compound would exist as both a gas and as a solid at those temperatures?
To: kidd
For me, its pretty simple. It is in orbit around a star. It has enough mass to have spun itself into a sphere.
And it has its own moons, icing on the cake. Its a planet.
So does that mean there are others? Who said “9” was the magic number? There might be more. Maybe we’ll get the chance to see some now that we’ve sailed on past Pluto.

Beatiful shot. Once again, nice job, Creator of the Universe!

Poor little Pluto, traveling alone for billions of years, unknown and unseen. We are now among the very first human eyes to see its surface.
Very, very cool!
