New Aerial Tour Offers Breathtaking Journey Across Pluto
- 9 years ago
A remarkable aerial video tour posted online by NASA shows Pluto using latest images downloaded from the spacecraft.
NASA's New Horizons recent mission to the dwarf planet Pluto continues to excite and amaze.
The images that sent back to Earth were recently transformed into a remarkable animated rendering.
The Plutonian journey begins in the dwarf planet's lower altitude as we pass over a series of diverse areas.
First come the Norgay Montes, then bounding northward, we see the Sputnik Planum and finally the Cthulhu Regio.
The spacecraft then veers eastward, rising to give us a view of roughly 80% of the dwarf planet's hemisphere.
