Pluto's Diner used to be an automobile service station. With a slap of colour and some design it's now a great diner in Victoria BC. Saturday breakfast was good while we sketched. It was cool outside but I managed to sketch the architecture while running in for the odd bite of ham and eggs. I finished colouring the sketch at home.

Pluto trigger.
It has been a while since I ventured forth and tried to use the pluto trigger.. but after about ten minutes I finally worked it out..
Next time I won't miss most of the lightning bolts.. doh
Granado Pluto is here! Too gorgeous to put clothes on yet - I am enjoying his exquisitely sculpted hot body. His facial sculpt is so real - when I look at him I expect he will speak .....
ENTERING THE LAST STRETCH!!
6 Hours, 19 Minutes & 196,873 Miles (318,836 Km) left until the New Horizons probe makes its closest approach with Pluto!
Check this out!! NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration posted newer photos of Pluto and it's largest moon, Charon!!
I again took these images, edited them and this time laid them together showing their orbital paths! The image ended up being so large that I used my Flickr online albums to host the photo. Check it out at full resolution to get all the awesomeness!!
Enjoy!!
The International Astronomical Union (IAU), the internationally recognized authority for naming celestial bodies and their surface features, approved names of 14 surface features on Pluto in August 2017. The names were proposed by NASA's New Horizons team following the first reconnaissance of Pluto and its moons by the New Horizons spacecraft in 2015.
This area is south of Pluto's dark equatorial band informally named Cthulhu Regio, and southwest of the vast nitrogen ice plains informally named Sputnik Planitia. North is at the top of this view. In the western portion of the image, a chain of bright mountains extends north into Cthulhu Regio. New Horizons compositional data indicate the bright snowcap material covering these mountains isn't water, but atmospheric methane that has condensed as frost onto these surfaces at high elevation. Between some mountains are sharply cut valleys, indicated by the white arrows. These valleys are each a few miles across and tens of miles long.
This enhanced color image was obtained by New Horizons' Multispectral Visible Imaging Camera (MVIC). The image resolution is approximately 2,230 feet (680 meters) per pixel. It was obtained at a range of approximately 21,100 miles (33,900 kilometers) from Pluto, about 45 minutes before New Horizons' closest approach to Pluto on July 14, 2015.

Schacht 4 der Zeche Pluto in Wanne-Eickel. Die eigentliche Zeche wurde stillgelegt in 1976, das Baufeld wurde dann zusammengefügt mit der Zeche Consolidation in Gelsenkirchen. Letzte Förderung in 1993, das Bild stammt ebenfalls aus 1993.

Pluto's moons Hydra and Nix were first spotted by the Hubble Space Telescope in 2005. This follow-up image helped confirm the discovery.
The confirmation reinforces the emerging view that the Kuiper Belt, a swarm of icy bodies encircling the solar system beyond Neptune, may be more complex and dynamic than astronomers once thought. Pluto resides inside the Kuiper Belt and is about 3 billion miles from the Sun. Pluto was discovered in 1930.
The moons' orbits are in the same plane as the orbit of the much larger satellite Charon (discovered in 1978). This likely means the moons were not captured, but instead were born, along with Charon, in what is commonly theorized to have been a titanic collision between two Pluto-sized objects over 4 billion years ago.
Astronomers believe that the formation of the Pluto system is similar to that of our Earth and Moon. In both cases a comparable-sized body slammed into the parent planet. Simulations show that debris from the collision would go into an orbit around the planet and coalesce to form one or more satellites. Investigating how Pluto ended up with three moons while the Earth has only one should yield valuable insights into the processes by which satellite systems form around planets.

This enhanced color mosaic combines some of the sharpest views of Pluto that NASA's New Horizons spacecraft obtained during its July 14 flyby. The pictures are part of a sequence taken near New Horizons' closest approach to Pluto, with resolutions of about 250-280 feet (77-85 meters) per pixel -- revealing features smaller than half a city block on Pluto's surface. Lower resolution color data (at about 2,066 feet, or 630 meters, per pixel) were added to create this new image.
The images form a strip 50 miles (80 kilometers) wide, trending (top to bottom) from the edge of "badlands" northwest of the informally named Sputnik Planum, across the al-Idrisi mountains, onto the shoreline of Pluto's "heart" feature, and just into its icy plains. They combine pictures from the telescopic Long Range Reconnaissance Imager (LORRI) taken approximately 15 minutes before New Horizons' closest approach to Pluto, with -- from a range of only 10,000 miles (17,000 kilometers) -- with color data (in near-infrared, red and blue) gathered by the Ralph/Multispectral Visible Imaging Camera (MVIC) 25 minutes before the LORRI pictures.
