\"Globe-Astronomy\"If you\u2019re a frequent reader of the Rocket Yard, you\u2019ll be quite aware of our affinity for all things related to outer space. And the story that we\u2019ve been\u00a0following today comes from deep space \u2013 about\u00a03 billion miles away \u2013 and has been\u00a0nine years in the making.<\/p>\n

Gizmodo has put together a summary of Stern\u2019s answers<\/a>, which shed some light (figuratively) on Pluto\u2019s surface.<\/p>\n
