Oh, noes! Another science nerd to add to my already-bursting feed reader! Stewman makes a good point:

How can the Hubble Space Telescope continually show us brilliant, detailed,and spectacular photos of some galaxies as far away as 450 million light years away, but can’t seem to come up with a decent picture of Pluto?!

It’s all about the discrimination against Pluto, I tell ya. If I was Pluto, I’d sue!

I think it might be because Pluto doesn’t emit light - whereas those galaxies and other things do. My guess is that Pluto doesn’t reflect much of the sun’s light either, making a good image hard to get. Sorta like taking a photo in the dark without a flash.
