Is There Life on Pluto?

The first pics from the New Horizon mission are starting to come in and they are showing some unexpected formations.  The closest fly by is happening tomorrow:

New Horizons conducts humanity’s very first reconnaissance of Pluto and its moons.

The closest approach for New Horizons is set for Tuesday, July 14th at 11:49 UT/7:49 AM EDT, as the intrepid spacecraft passes 12,600 kilometres (7,800 miles) from Pluto’s surface. At over 4 light hours or nearly 32 astronomical units (AUs) away, New Horizons is on its own, and must perform its complex pirouette through the Pluto system as it cruises by at over 14 kilometres (8 miles) a second.

Let’s find out more about these unusual pics and check out a video from NASA on the next page

    I had pointed out an object on the latest picture but I’m sure anything they would find would be covered up. Can’t rule it out life as we don’t know it though.

    If they find life on Pluto, the implications of that would be staggering! If life can exist in the extreme environment of Pluto, then that means more than likely it exists everywhere in the universe. Let’s hope they find something!
