The craters on Charon are much more clearly visible than on Pluto. Even on Charon, though, they appear to be considerably less numerous than the craters on our own Moon. Thanks, APOD, for this ongoing banquet of images from New Horizons ... keep them coming, I'm not too full yet.
Pluto a planet? I think the politicians should step in and give us a good legal definition. E.g. "Our solar system has 9 planets. These are the 9 objects in the system for which we have a planetary governor. The planetary governors meet each month in Las Vegas, NV and they each provide taxation/tribute to the Supremely Sovereign Systemic Liege, based on the population of their planets and a roll of the dice."
