The results coming back from New Horizons are just amazing.
Many (me included) thought Pluto would be just a boring, snooker ball of ice.
Quite the contrary: it exhibits some of the most astonishing, diverse features of anywhere in the solar system - entirely unexpected.
Plains of nitrogen ice, mountains of water ice. On-going (or, at least, recent) terrain re-modelling. Cryo-vulcanism...
More interesting (read 'complicated') than our own moon - just a bit further away...!
