Do we have to wait until New Horizons probe gets there or is there a reasonable photo of this dwarf planet already? I've never seen one!

Pluto is too small and far away for us to have any decent images of it yet. So far the best images come from the Hubble space telescope, and allow only the merest hint of surface brightness variations. No real surface features are visible. For that we will have to await the New Horizons probe.
