It is due to pass Pluto on the 14th of July 2015 and its name is New Horizons.
Pluto's magnitude varies depending on its position in orbit, but is never brighter than 13.65. The dimmest objects visible to the naked eye under perfect conditions are about magnitude 6.5 (the lower the number, the brighter the object). Pluto is about 1000 times dimmer than this. The faintest objects visible with the aid of binoculars are about magnitude 9.5. Pluto is still over 50 times dimmer than this. A telescope would be necessary to see Pluto.
because of the Hubble telescope pictures.

Hubble used, among others, the 100-inch Hooker telescope at Mount Wilson, which could have easily resolved Pluto. The Yerkes observatory managed to (unknowingly) photograph Pluto with only a 40-inch scope, which has about six times less light-gathering ability.
Yes, Pluto can potentially be seen with binoculars under optimal conditions, such as a dark, clear sky with minimal light pollution. However, Pluto appears as a very faint point of light and may be challenging to distinguish from the background stars. Viewing with a telescope is recommended for a better chance of observing Pluto.
Pluto is not visible without a telescope.
No. Pluto was discovered in 1930 by telescope.

1. Pluto is small. 2. Pluto is VERY far away.
everything excepts Pluto
No satellite did. Pluto was discovered by Clyde Tombaugh, who found it using a ground-based telescope in 1930, long before we launched the first satellites.
The Hubble telescope satellite.
Neither Johannes Kepler nor the Kepler Space Telescope discovered Pluto. Pluto was discovered by Clyde Tombaugh in 1930, long after Johannes Kepler died and long before the Kepler telescope was created. The Kepler telescope was built to discover planets in other solar systems, not our own.
not with just a regular telescope it has to be a atronate telescope with a computer to back it up but yes it is possible if u know what ur doing.
Pluto can be seen with an amateur telescope but it is not easy and you will require a great deal of supporting information on how to locate it. Something like the Hubble Space Telescope would be required to see Pluto's moons, and then, not in any great detail.
The hubble telescope.
Only if you have access to a large telescope. Pluto is too small and too far away to be seen with the naked eye.
