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.

...

Or it will look similar to Neptune’s moon, Triton, since they are considered to have formed similarly, are almost the same size, and Triton was captured rather than formed around Neptune.

Seeing the entire Pluto system will be something. How can such a small dwarf planet have so many moons?

I don’t think Pluto will be all white, since we already have a low resolution image of Pluto that shows otherwise.
