Additionally, here are images of Pluto that were taken and made into a movie format showing that it is either tumbling or has an irregular shape.
These are not just my comments, but shared by those on the websites where the images and videos are found...
This video shows Pluto and Charon with Pluto having an obvious irregular shape.
This animation shows only a portion of Pluto on a rotating sphere. Only the upper portion of the planet is visible (and no further maps have been made)
And finally, this video shows a color animation of the rotation of Pluto, yet only 6 images are used to create the anigif.
One other thing to note. The final images of Pluto are not representative of the full rotation of the planet from left to right.
If you match up known elements on the images, only 2/3 of the planet is seen. I do not know how to take images and put them on a sphere, but you can see this looking at the images when they are all in a row. You can see that in this image where I matched up Hubble images with assumed positions of Pluto. Just focus on the top images. Unless you rotate some of the images, they do not match what is assumed to be a linear rotation around the planet.
Thanks for looking...
