THIS KIND OF IMAGE.
THE MOST STUNNING THING ABOUT 
THIS -- WELL, THERE'S MANY 
STUNNING THINGS, BUT THE MOST 
STRIKING GEOLOGICALLY IS WE HAVE
NOT YET FOUND A SINGLE IMPACT 
CRATER ON HIMMAGE.
>> I WANT TO BRING IN BILL NYE, 
THE SCIENCE GUY HERE.
WHAT
>>> WHAT EXACTLY ARE WE LOOKING 
AT?
WHAT'S THE SIGNIFICANCE OF IT?
>> THIS IS NOW A TEN TIMES FINER
RESOLUTION THAN THE PICTURE WE 
HAD YESTERDAY OF THIS ONE REGION
OR FRAME ON PLUTO.
IT'S SO EXCITING, BECAUSE YOU'RE
SEEING ALL THIS ROUGHNESS AND 
GEOLOGISTS, AND GEOLOGISTS WILL 
GO WILD.
THEY LOVE THIS KIND OF THING.
YOU CAN INFER WHAT IT'S MADE OF 
WITH EXTRAORDINARY PRECISION 
WITH THE INSTRUMENTS ON THE 
SPACECRAFT.
THERE'S TWO QUESTIONS THAT GET 
US ALL, PAMELA -- WHERE DID WE 
COME FROM?
AND ARE WE ALONE IN THE 
UNIVERSITY.
IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHERE WE 
CAME FROM, YOU HAVE TO STUDY 
THESE BODIES, BEYOND THE OUTER 
PLANETS, THE PLUTOIDS I LIKE TO 
CALL THEM, THE FIRST BEING 
PLUTO.
THEY DON'T SEE IMPACT CRATERS. 
>> WHY IS THAT IMPORTANT?
>> THERE'S LESS IMPACT THAN 
MAYBE WE THOUGHT.
ALL THE WATER ON YOUTH, ALL THE 
WATER IN YOU AND ME CAME FROM 
SPACE.
SO WHY WOULDN'T THEY THINGS BE 
SMASHING INTO EACH OTHER.
THERE COULD BE MECHANICS NOT 
FULLY UNDERSTOOD.
HERE'S THE THING, WHEN WE TAKE 
THESE KIND OF PICTURES, WE NOTE 
MORE ABOUT PLAN EITHER -- 
PLANETS AT LARGE.
850 MILLION, OVER 15 YEARS.
THAT'S NOTHING.
OKAY?
THAT'S LESS THAN A CUP OF COFFEE
PER TAXPAYER FOR 15 YEARS, YET 
THIS IS EXTRAORDINARY IMAGES OF 
THIS WORLD WE HAVE ALL WONDERED 
ABOUT. 
>> AND EXTRAORDINARY IT WILL 
PULL THIS OFF WITHOUT A HITCH.
YOU THINK YOU'RE SEEING IMPACT 
CRATERS.
WHEN THEY LOOK AT IT UP CLOSE, 
THEY DON'T SEE TO BE, SO THERE'S
