We're getting closer!

It's pretty amazing how far we've come! And this isn't even the best resolution yet. Eventually we'll get images with resolutions 500x the latest image

It's funny, though - I never realized how organic-colored Pluto was (or is the New Horizons photo not taken in color?)

I don't think it was taken in color. It was probably colored after, but I read somewhere that's roughly the actual color of Pluto.
