The previous pics from three weeks ago were not much more than dots but we are now seeing some distinct surface features.

Yep.
They might find that Pluto does in fact consist of a few dozen gigantic fuzzy cubes, clumped together in a roughly spherical form.
Probably in three weeks’ time we will see pics better than the best from Hubble.

Yes, there’s a big white thing on Pluto facing Charon.
2nd May was Pluto’s 85th birthday.
