We're getting closer to the biggest science event for this decade, the long awaited New Horizons' flyby of Pluto. It will be the first time since 1989 we'll see a planet for the first time and it will end this "first era" of space exploration. Exciting time to be alive, for sure!

 

 

The latest photo (yesterday) from the New Horizons telescope.

We didn't accept that change that said "Pluto isn't a planet."

 

Pluto is a planet and always will be (no it's not a comet). Just like 3 other planets after Pluto.

 

And Pluto is like my religion... *grabs shotgun* if anyone talks shi*t about it, he will face the consequences!

NASA released a time-lapse of Pluto's rotation and Charon's (its biggest moon) revolution.
