NASA Unveils Historic Pictures of Pluto

An anonymous reader writes: The New Horizons team held a press briefing today and released new data and high-resolution photographs of Pluto. Alan Stern, lead researcher of New Horizons said: "We now have an isolated, small planet that's showing activity after four and a half billion years. We've settled the fact that these very small planets can be active for a long time, and I think that's going to send a lot of geophysicists back to the drawing board."

The only possible explanation is that the hi-res picture looks like a space station, and they wanted to consult the president before publishing it.
