that is clearly green in the northern hemisphere, and those are clearly a cloud system around the equatorial line.

Bite the bullet, scientists. Give Pluto its planet status back. It’s bigger than Eris!

There is a fair chance thats going to happen, now knowing it has 5 moons and an atmosphere, its pretty clear that is a planet, not a dwarf…

Even more exciting is that they are also thinking that Charon might be one too, that this is actually a double planet system

Its not a planet anymore. Get over it.

Here’s what we humans fight over, taken from beyond Pluto.

That’s a pretty weird pictorial representation of whether I still have feelings for my ex.

Wow.

Dear Pluto,
Lookin’ good. But you’re still a Dwarf Planet — get over it.
Love, Neil deGrasse Tyson

I’m going to call it a Tyrion planet then, dwarf but awesome

Does this mean that Pluto gets an invite to St Kilda’s Mad Monday this year?

Pictures are awesome.

I will note some of the scientists working on the fly by project have been calling Pluto a planet, so ■■■■ you NdGT.

It is all a little bit silly. Neptune hasn’t cleared its orbit of smaller objects either, really.
