For a couple of weeks I was afraid they were not going to get any really good photos of Pluto. Those they were showing were blurry.

They finally ended up being really clear.

I read a discussion on whether Pluto should be called a planet or not and I think the best argument was that it should be.

Keep in mind that resolution of 4 kilometers per pixel is still going to miss important details. This was a recon run at high speed not a really detailed survey like the latest Mars orbiter that detected car-sized objects from orbit.If only the planetary probes had the money given to the enemies of modern life we could be getting LOTS more data .
