Absolutely true. When a co-worker saw the picture I posted on hipchat of Charon, he said "so what, looks just like our moon."

Thankfully he was chewed out by another science fan in the channel, but a sad number of people care less about this achievement than about the latest sports team win.

The pictures can be boring even if the science is exciting. Maybe we could instead talk about what this means. What we have learned from this.
