Welcome to SpaceBlog!

Here you can ask, answer and discuss all things space related.

To get us started, I’m going to ask a question: What does Pluto look like?

Those of you who are already googling, don’t bother. Because the answer is: WE DON’T KNOW. That’s right; even though we have telescopes that can take pretty amazing pictures of galaxies billions of light years away, we can barely see the outskirts of our solar system. Even though Pluto is right here in our own neighborhood, orbiting the same sun we are, no one on Earth knows what it looks like.

This photograph, compiled by the Hubble Space Telescope (courtesy NASA) is the best we can do.

So far.

But we humans are very curious.
