Just been mooching over at cyclops.

Not sure it is bigger bit opening the image takes you to a larger image without having to enlarge.
More in that link if you follow your nose. Cassini has some good uns as well.

I've just been looking at this 70mb high res image of Pluto that NASA have just released.
Currently blown away and just staring at this - the imagery is just incredible.

Considering how far away from the sun they are the photo's of Pluto and Charon have blown me away. It says a lot for modern imaging technology of course as well.
I think we should promote Pluto back up to a full planet status due to the nice pics. It has been part of our interplanetary history and continues to be so. Of course that's emotive. Science needs emotion sometimes.
Just being a romantic having seen those, reminds when I was a boy and looking through big books with big photo's !
Looking forward to the info over the months to come. Top work by the teams involved.

At what point do we start referring to Pluto and Charon as Binary Dwarf Planets?Just to really screw with the classification system...
All the data's now back

Next stop is a small Kuiper belt object (after all the fuss about the term planet, why do we just call these "objects"?) on 1st Jan 2019.
