NASA Releases New Images From Pluto Flyover

Hundreds of images of Pluto taken by NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft over this summer were stitched together to render a stunning aerial tour of the dwarf planet. The animation, released on September 18, captures a soaring flyover with views of icy mountains and rivers of frozen nitrogen.

“In addition to being visually stunning, these low-lying hazes hint at the weather changing from day to day on Pluto, just like it does here on Earth,” Will Grundy, lead of the New Horizons Composition team, said in a statement. Credit: YouTube/NASA.gov Video
