Here are some of the incredible and totally unexpected shapes they are seeing:
We’re already seeing features on Pluto and Charon in the latest images, such as the ‘heart,’ ‘donut,’ and the ‘whale’ of Pluto, along with chasms, craters and a dark patch on Charon. The conspicuous lack of large craters on Pluto suggests an active world.
And there’s more in store, as the New Horizons team will make the decision to maneuver the spacecraft for a rendezvous with a Kuiper Belt Object (KBO) next month. Said KBO flyby will occur in the 2019-2020 timeframe, and perhaps, we’ll one day see a Pluto orbiter mission or lander in the decades to come…
What could possibly cause shapes like that to appear? Is it coincidence or evidence of some sort of activity ont he surface, either current or in the past?
Feel free to comment with your thoughts!
In the video below NASA gives a briefing of the mission and a bit on what they are expecting.
thanks to universetoday.com for the great info
thanks to NASA for the great pic
I had pointed out an object on the latest picture but I’m sure anything they would find would be covered up. Can’t rule it out life as we don’t know it though.
Wait till 830pm when the real pics come in.
No
Send me there now.
So it’s a planet again ?!
People really think that’s real?! Lol that’s a Real Picture?

I think NASA should concentrate on Ceres. Lights are on NASA….
No kidding. Let’s figure out what those brights spots are first.
one never know, it’s something doesn’t have to be human life, if there is alot of something it could be there type of existence We have no clue as to what it is?
There are barbarian hoards on Pluto. And an army from Ogo will subjugate them.
If they find life on Pluto, the implications of that would be staggering! If life can exist in the extreme environment of Pluto, then that means more than likely it exists everywhere in the universe. Let’s hope they find something!
