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.
Yes, this is awesome, and it's happening at the same time the Dawn spacecraft is exploring Ceres. Fascinating worlds!
It looks like Pluto might have a huge crater on it's surface, hard to tell this far out though.
