Pluto is over 3 billion miles away from Earth, smaller than the moon, has an average surface temperature over 200 degrees below freezing (in Celsius!), and isn’t even really a “planet” anymore, technically. But pretty soon you’re going to be able to see the little bugger up close and in color. NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft just sent back its first color image of the dwarf planet and its largest moon Charon. It’s a blurry glow taken from 71 million miles away, but it’s a sight to behold nonetheless.
