[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 934631, member: 175144"] And Pluto looks perfectly spherical, which is nice. [I]The probe's difficulty is getting all that information back to Earth. The distance to the dwarf is vast - more than 4.7 billion km - and this makes for very low bit rates. The mission team expects it to take 16 months to return all the science to be acquired over the coming week.[/I] [URL]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-33491454[/URL] [/QUOTE]
