This is the most clearest picture of Pluto ever taken! It was captured recently by the New Horizons planetary probe using itd Ralph imaging instrument. The surface of the dwarf planet is a cool -400 degrees. From this angle it looks like Europa, one of the moons of Jupiter. The red could be copper, the blue could be copper sulphate or cobalt. We will find out more as we explore this dwarf planet on the farthest side of our Solar System even further over the next decade or so.

A "Hobo Nickel" is the name given to American nickel coins that were hand-engraved by homeless people (hobos) during the Great Depression. Hobos used these engravings to increase the value of an ordinary nickel, creating small works of art that they could exchange for food, rides, or other services.
These engravings were often very detailed and creative, and the motifs varied. A common motif, as can be seen in the picture, was a skull. Today, Hobo Nickels are valuable collector's items, and some examples have sold at auction for thousands of dollars.
The picture here shows such a nickel redesigned with a skeleton motif. This is a part of the story that reflects creativity and survival during the difficult time of the Great Depression in the United States.
