What are the Spots?

Terrain features (mountain ranges, valleys, craters, etc).

Yea Pluto's mostly made of Nitrogen Ice, what of it?

I think they're deposits of graphene left there by aliens so we can advance our society maybe not

Trash left behind by previous spacelings wandering through our solar system, ie: a "garbage" version of the StarTrek movies "V-ger".

Billions of ants....

That's not a planet, it is really a hole in the huge sphere that surrounds the solar system, and the dark spots are the heads of people looking through.

Age spots. I have a couple of them. Don't know what causes them or where they come from.

Maybe Mickey has cross bred him with a Dalmatian.

Oooohhhh PLUTO!

Manganese noodles.

With peanut sauce.

Beryllium spheres.Like in the Star Trek parody

In what direction is the sun in the image? The dark irregular crescent at the bottom looks like the shadows of a high ridge. Almost as if the planet is less spherical then most planets.

They are the dents caused by the studio's intern dropping the model of Pluto. ... OOPS, SORRY, this was the posting for the conspiracy site.

The picture is upside down. That's the moss that grows on the North side of planets. (That's how I could tell that the picture is upside down.)

The spots are the rocks that have a lot of iron in them. They're really heavy so they roll down to the bottom of the planet.

They're the holes left after they moved the bright white dots to Ceres.

I think those dark spots are just as blurry as the lighter bits. I can say that with 100% certainty.

Here's a fairly astounding fact courtesy of NASA:

The entire history of the United States has unfolded in the time it's taken Pluto to orbit the Sun once.

The last time Pluto was in its current position - in 1768 - humans were totally unaware of its existence (it was discovered in 1930).

At the time, humans still hadn't figured out how species evolve, how germs transmit diseases, or how the Earth's tectonic plates slide around. Aviation was still decades away - and spaceflight wouldn't happen for nearly 200 years.

All of which is to say: it's pretty amazing that, this time around, Pluto will be visited by a tiny robot sent by a curious species of apes three billion miles away. A lot can change in a single orbit.

interesting

This does put many things in perspective, too.

Those must be the Mi-Go cities.

Don't you people read Lovecraft anymore? We need to keep informed about the activities on Yuggoth (also known as Pluto) or we'll all end up with our brains in steel cans on a long, cold journey out there to be the playthings of Endtrich Abomonations.
