I believe this is the latest picture, and we will be getting a lot more detail in a big hurry.

Also useful: http://pluto.jhuapl.edu/soc/Pluto-Encounter/ this is where I have found a more or less steady stream of updated images from the LORRI

Horizon will get the closest to Pluto in hours.

I like the pics. Nice mugs.

New Horizons reached closest approach an hour ago. I'm geeking out!!

Pluto looks like an alien world. Oh that's right... it IS an alien world!

Congratulations, Mankind, you have just sent a probe to the first KBO. Now you just need to send one to the next bajillion. :D

So when do we get a Pluto-rock back here?

(PS, any colored image of Pluto will be a false-color one.)

Yes it is, but I still think I want to see a non-false color image, showing how Pluto would really look if it weren't so damn dim out there. And I want a Pluto-rock.

It would probably melt/vaporize into nitrogen, methane, ammonia and water if brought back.
