- pjtr 11y agoIndeed excellent, thanks! TLDR: Yes! "Pluto at 3.8 kilometers per pixel (~630 pixels across disk)."

The highest resolution images will just be of portions of Pluto. One will come in on the 15th, but I believe the rest won't be transmitted until September due to the slow uplink speed.
