I know that it got downgraded from a planet to whatever the hell it is now from the time new horizons launched to now, but as one of the people who grew up with little Pluto as the 9th planet, I'm really excited to get the first close up pictures of it and it's moon, Charon.

I got annoyed initially by the downgrading, but tbh, lately, I've been fascinated by moons. I'm particularly obsessed with Io these days. There are all sorts of cool objects out there that aren't planets.
