Scientists were totally surprised by the recent first time close shots of Pluto. So I wonder how surprising would close shots be of this "2nd earth"?

I believe the day we can send a satellite over to our neighbor galaxy Andromeda is when we will get some surprises and answers. We're getting there but I don't think I'll see it.
