New Horizons' Extreme Close-Up of Pluto’s Surface (no audio)

This is the most detailed view of Pluto’s terrain you’ll see for a very long time. This mosaic strip – extending across the hemisphere that faced the New Horizons spacecraft as it flew past Pluto on July 14, 2015 – now includes all of the highest-resolution images taken by the NASA probe. With a resolution of about 260 feet (80 meters) per pixel, the mosaic affords New Horizons scientists and the public the best opportunity to examine the fine details of the various types of terrain on Pluto, and determine the processes that formed and shaped them.

The width of the strip ranges from more than 55 miles (90 kilometers) at its northern end to about 45 miles (75 kilometers) at its southern point. The pictures in the mosaic were obtained by New Horizons’ Long Range Reconnaissance Imager (LORRI) approximately 9,850 miles (15,850 kilometers) from Pluto, shortly before New Horizons’ closest approach.

I never thought I would live long enough to see such amazing photos of Pluto.

[thatguythathugspuppies]

Poor Pluto. You're still a planet in my book.

[Benderrr]

Amazing!!! What a beauty! Kudos to all the scientists and engineers and everyone who contributed to this achievement! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

[Saelent]

The fact that we have the technology to do this, is, by far, outstanding.

Pluto may not be a planet, but that doesn't make it less interesting. Very cool!

[DavoidJohnson]

I physically shiver when I think how cold this place is

[desiguy]

decades ago, Pluto was imagined to be a cold desolate flat boring world. But these images clearly shows a dynamic varied terrain. if you like mountains(of ice) and hills Pluto is the place.

I feel blessed. Never gonna take anything for granted. Always gonna give back

[Mauro_SP]

Amazing, incredible, fantastic!!!

Thanks NASA and New Horizons team for magnificent images. <333

[AndroidManGaming]

It's stunning how much technology has advanced at NASA. This is amazing.

[DrToonhattan]

Whoa. Weird optical illusion for me, when the video finished, my whole monitor looked like it was slowly moving upwards for a few seconds.

[JVD]

This is so dam cool I never ever thought I see this rock up close

[valdeaunia]

There's a snail trudging along at @0:54 lol

[KCarver]

A mere Thank-you seems so woefully inadequate, but I shall thank-you nevertheless.
Thank-you!

0:53 Space ducks confirmed. Amazing footage, so cool to see so up close to Pluto's surface.

[beekiebiddyboo]

NASA are as ever amazing! well done, what an achievement

[wzupppp]

if I will ever have an out of body experience, I will go to pluto

[ramonsolis]

0:54 is this part of Pluto?
or is the whole picture fake?
Do I make sense or does the sense make me?

[srreal]

Waw that is amazing. Just fascinating. So many things to see in the world, just imagine if you could see it in real life.

Hi, With the translating effect, I thought it was a movie taken by the satellite but it is not ! It is just a mosaic of single flat pictures arranged in a strip. Too bad :) because there is no 3D effect as it would have been with a movie ...
