Pluto not actually a planet, but a fractal mass of dogs and eyes. NASA disbanded.

So far we're still sane. Hopefully that doesn't change s we look at more detailed pictures.

Thinking this will probably lead to Pluto being reclassified as a planet.

I like earth. People forget it's a planet and think it's a big flat disc spinning in space but actually it's a planet and a pretty good one at that

i always remember mercury, it's the one closest to the sun. everyone remembers mercury. but neptune? it's before pluto and everything else before it is more interesting. its most prominent feature is a smudge. gently caress you, neptune, maybe try harder next time and get some rings

Pluto was relegated to dwarf planet status because it hadn't 'cleared the area' of its orbit, with huge object Charon being a significant body in close proximity that put the barycenter of the pluto-charon system outside of Pluto. But over the last year we've found other things orbiting Pluto, and these photos are clearing up to show a lot of details of both Pluto and Charon. Depending on what we see with Charon, I wouldn't doubt they end up re-classifying it. That's all just semantics though, for all practical purposes its a planet.

Yup! New Horizons, launched in 2006. It's slowly been heading out there for a long time... takes a long time to get into the vicinity of Pluto. These images are the best images we've ever gotten of Pluto... nobody has even sent something out to take a peek before. They're going to get far closer too, and some parts of pluto are going to be imaged at a resolution of 60km^2/pixel. It's really exciting, as we honestly never really knew what it looked like until now.

Thanks for this wonderful post joke_explainer! Yes, that is my spacecraft. You can see my window right there in the pic. It takes me about 9 hours to reply to a post because of the signal lag. I can still stream rznv though.
