Sort each statement below into the appropriate bin based on whether it is something that scientists knew about Pluto or its moon Charon before the New Horizons flyby, is something learned as a result of the New Horizons flyby, or is something that seems possible from the New Horizons mission but for which we'll need additional data to establish it with certainty.
