“The first color images of Pluto’s atmospheric hazes, returned by NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft last week, reveal that the hazes are blue.”

“NASA won’t let me tell you what we’re going to tell you on Thursday,” Dr. Alan Stern, the mission’s lead scientist, told students on Monday at the University of Alberta in Canada, according to The Guardian. “It’s amazing.” “This world is alive,” Stern added. “It has weather, it has hazes in the atmosphere, active geology.” But NASA said there’s nothing out of this world to announce. “There is a false rumor going around that there will be a BIG New Horizons science announcement tomorrow,” according to a tweet from the New Horizons team on Wednesday. “Completely false.”
Keith’s note: I am not sure Stern was wrong in what he is quoted as saying. I think think this news is a big deal. As for how the “false rumor” started. It should obvious that @NewHorizons2015 was promoting it (by retweeting an excited quote) before it was debunking it.
