With a 248-year orbit around the sun those must be some long winters.

The long winters aren't so bad, although sometimes it's a bit disconcerting when the commander thinks aloud.

I find it absolutely amazing that nobody knew this 12 hours ago.

Sorry to burst your bubble but this was known years ago. The information is not from this mission.

Google for "pluto atmosphere collapse" and set the date range to before Aug 2013.
