Pluto Friday!

About 2.5 months have passed since New Horizons flew by Pluto taking images.  The data is slowly being transmitted back to Earth so we'll see new data coming in for many more months.  Astronomy Picture of the Day is a NASA website that posts a new astronomy-related picture each day.  For the foreseeable future they are posting a new Pluto picture every Friday.  The pictures are absolutely amazing!  For example, look at this picture from last Friday.

Wow!  The previous Friday gave us this.

Yes, those are mountains!  I am stunned by these images, especially when I look at the best images of Pluto we had before July 2015.  

To be clear, the above image was not taken by some telescope you can buy on your own.  This is an image from the Hubble Space Telescope!  That's the best we had until July 2015 and New Horizons has provided amazing images that have completely changed our understanding of Pluto.  

Now it's your turn.  Check out Astronomy Picture of the Day at:
