On April 29, NASA released a series of images showing broad areas of light and dark surface features on Pluto. A bright patch near the north pole was described as “suspiciously suggestive of a polar cap.” These images have been stabilized so Pluto remains centered, with a line showing the orientation of the planet’s north pole. In reality, the gravity of the large moon Charon makes Pluto wobble.
What you’re looking at is the first direct observation of an atom’s electron orbital, an atom’s actual wave function! To capture the image, researchers utilized a new quantum microscope, an incredible new device that literally allows scientists to gaze into the quantum realm. (Source)

The dark and light spots on the moon are impact zones that are left by objects (e.g. meteors) that have hit the moon.
The Hoba meteorite is thought to have fallen more recently than 80,000 years ago.
The meteorite is unusual in that it is flat on both major surfaces, possibly causing it to have skipped across the top of the atmosphere in the way a flat stone skips on water.
