An eruption from the Tvashtar volcano on Io, Jupiters moon, in several different wavelength images taken by the New Horizons spacecraft in 2007. The left image from the Long Range Reconnaissance Imager (LORRI) shows lava glowing in the night. At top right, the Multispectral Visible Imaging Camera (MVIC) spotted sulfur and sulfor dioxide deposits on the sunny side of Io. The remaining image from the Linear Etalon Imaging Spectral Array (LEISA) shows volcanic hotspots on Ios surface.

I'm guessing that there won't be a whole lot to see on Pluto, it will most likely appear like some of the moons of Saturn, basically a large white ball of frozen gases and rock. But it will nice to finally round out our “picture album” of all the planets in the solar system (and yes I know Pluto got downgraded to proto-planet status, but I went to school when we still had nine planets and Pluto will always be a planet in my mind.)

My home planet. According to my wife (occasionally), men are from Mars, women are from Venus, but I’m from Pluto.

I still don’t understand why we are surrounded by these huge clumps of dirt and gases in deep space. There’s got to be a reason for all of this.
