Alan Stern, the Principal Investigator for the NASA New Horizons mission, wrote his last "Insider blog" post for Sky and Telescope that (briefly) summarizes the major scientific findings uncovered so far:

The flyby of Pluto and its system of moons by New Horizons is complete, but over 95% of the data from that reconnaissance is still aboard the spacecraft, awaiting downlink to Earth. Getting all those observations back will take some 16 months and won't complete until the fall of 2016. So expect many more images and spectra and, from those, many more discoveries in the months ahead. New Horizons is a gift that will keep on giving.
