Pluto is sweating its close-up. :)
That's ice not water right?
The surface is frozen, but it's possible that Pluto has a warm chocolate center.
Well THAT would be wonderful.

Excellent and informative Reddit!
Yes, this is Reddit at its best!
"Astonishing detail, compared to the first images in 1930 which were about 0.4 Pluto/pixel :-)"
