New Hubble Maps of Pluto Show Surface Changes

[Reiko]

The new map is so good, astronomers have even been able to detect changes on the dwarf planet's surface by comparing Hubble images taken in 1994 with the newer images taken in 2002-2003. The task is as challenging as trying to see the markings on a soccer ball 40 miles away.

This is exciting.

I like to think that it is in the process of being terraformed by space aliens.

One can dream.

But yeah, this is pretty cool.
