    That’s bad ass. Crazy to think how far away that is.

    Fake. How patriotic of NASA to photoshop some red white and blue though!

    Stunning. Pluto is so far from the sun that the sun would appear to an observer as just a bright star.

    Why I love science. Pseudoscience and religious myths can't show anything like this. And it's real!

    I find it interesting we can see a football field sized crater on say, the moon, from earth. Yet the international space station cant even see a city. It's like it's all fabricated if you think about it. Why did google have to drive cars with cameras to get "street view" our telescope technology can see a booger on pluto but cant see a person from our atmosphere?

    Awesome. Makes you think. Imagine being in space, looking down at little Earth. And thinking of all the people who live together and just fighting and killing and shooting each other up. So dumb.

    So, somebody explain to me why it’s not considered a planet anymore. Somebody at sometime felt it was. WHy the change? That pic looks amazing blown up on my big ass iPad but he way. Probably the clearest image I’ve seen on it.

    Not big enough. Not enough gravitational pull. Kinda of like why we no longer let you start game threads.

    I liked the first part of your answer, not so much the second.

    1 - This picture was taken by a probe we threw at Pluto, not from Earthbound telescopes; Earthbound telescopes can barely see Pluto at all. Even the Hubble telescope can only get a blur in a photo of Pluto: https://www.spacetelescope.org/images/opo1006c/
    2 - The ISS isn't a telescope or a spy satellite... the telescopes that can see football field sized craters are pretty big, much bigger than the ISS
    3 - Google doesn't have access to the spy satellites that *can* see our boogers from space.

    It looks cold. Also, appears kind of lonely.

    It's prejudice pure and simple. I think it's got something to do with the color of the surface.

    I think someone classified it as a moon instead of a planet because it's smaller than most planets....I never bought into that
