When NASA revealed the amazing photos of Pluto taken by the New Horizons flyby of our favourite dwarf planet, they probably weren’t expecting the internet to go quite so crazy. But in true bizarre, internet fashion the photoshoppers took over to improve Pluto’s pictures. And thus the numerous Pluto memes were born.
Here are 15 of our favourites:
1. Pluto the Death Star

That is very concerning.
2. Donald Trump got the Pluto treatment too

It’s nice that his hair kind of blends into the craters of Pluto so effortlessly.
3. Pluto is on Pluto!

4. But then Snoopy claimed to be on Pluto too

We can KIND of see it if we squint.

They made a smiley face together – that looks very sinister.
12. But not as sinister as the other side of Pluto

We really hope the other side of Pluto looks nothing like that.

But there will be no phoning home with the reception on Pluto.
14. The Lord Of The Rings Pluto
He’s a dwarf, Pluto is a dwarf planet… we see what you did there internet.
