The icy mountains of Pluto (NASA-JHUAPL-SwRI)
Tabitha M. Powledge rounds up coverage of the New Horizons mission's flyby this week of Pluto and its moon Charon: "It had never occurred to me that there would be confusion over how to pronounce the name of Pluto’s largest moon, which is surely SHARE-on. But apparently there is confusion, even among the New Horizons scientists." Also, what else is there to see in the Kuiper belt? And is NASA's public affairs office doing good work or bad on the New Horizons mission?
