Being so far away from the sun, Pluto might be thought of as cold and distant. But new, awe-inspiring images are warming scientists, some of whom previously imagined nothing more than a crater or scar-ridden surface with little else to show for its formation.

"How can these small, cold objects be so diverse? What's driving what seems to be tectonic activity on the surface, these glacier flows, these incredibly complicated regions on the surface that just look like a jumbled mess of giant, icy mountains? The variety of the surface features has been a big surprise," Weaver said to the Post.

Pluto is not a planet. If it is then Quaoar, Makemake, Haumea, Ixion, and Varuna are all also planets.

If it wants to be a planet, let it be a planet. Bigot.
