This is the latest, best image of Pluto, and among the best we'll get. New Horizons is making its closest approach to Pluto roughly now. We'll have more images tonight at 9 PM EDT. Watch http://pluto.jhuapl.edu for updates!

That ice cap appears to be tagged by The Pluto Gang.

This is all actually really exciting. I just watched the NASA YouTube channel and it was neat to see so many people who have clearly been working to make this happen for more than a decade.
