It began as a point of light. Then, it evolved into a fuzzy orb. Now, in the latest portrait from NASA's New Horizons spacecraft, Pluto is being revealed as an intriguing new world with distinct surface features. Three billion miles from Earth and just two and a half million miles from Pluto, New Horizons has taken its best images and is beginning to reveal the first signs of discrete geologic features. At 7:49 AM EDT on Tuesday morning, July 14th, New Horizons will zip past Pluto at 30,800 miles per hour (49,600 kilometers per hour), with a suite of seven science instruments busily gathering data. The mission will complete the initial reconnaissance of the solar system's original nine planets with the first-ever look at this icy world.
