Photo of Pluto May Show Cloud for 1st Time

They are still waiting for more images of Pluto and its largest moon Charon.
But just thin about the distance Horizon traveled, 2.97 Billion miles and I understand Horizon is an additional 287 Millions miles from Pluto and still going Strong.
How you may ask?

The new images show that the low-lying surface is not totally flat, but rather a mix of pitted areas, 10 to 25 miles wide, that the researchers call “cells”. The cells have ridged margins and raised centers, visible thanks to shadows cast by a low sun, and some cells appear separated by trench or canal formations.
Researchers believed the strange surface patterns are formed by convection, as soft frozen nitrogen carries warm ice on to Pluto’s surface, where it evaporates en route to the edge of each cell. Liquid nitrogen may flow beneath the plains, emerging in rivers and moving the glaciers of nitrogen ice above.
“This part of Pluto is acting like a lava lamp,” said William McKinnon, deputy lead of the New Horizons geology and geophysics team. “If you can imagine a lava lamp as wide as, and even deeper than, the Hudson Bay.”
The “X” formation visible in one photo of the plains is probably the “quadruple junction of former convection cells”, New Horizons’ planetary astronomer Alex Parkertweeted.
