Why the Latest Photos Of Pluto That New Horizon Captured Shocked NASA?

The New Horizons mission has been a real space mission challenge – one of the toughest in human history. The probe reached Pluto and captured a view of the rock on the outskirts of our solar system that no one has ever seen before at such a close distance. Or maybe, we're not the first to see it… Because what New Horizons found has scientists questioning: Is Pluto just a frigid, lifeless rock, or could there be more to this dwarf planet?

8 years later, the data collected during the flyby is still being studied by the mission team, providing new exciting discoveries, and changing the way we look at the solar system.

Is there really a hidden ocean of liquid water beneath Pluto's surface? What caused icy dunes across the planet’s terrain?

Learn about these fascinating things, about how the dwarf planet swaps material with its largest space neighbor, and more as we take you on a journey to Pluto, and see it like it's never been seen before.

Hold on. Science can connect to this probe near Pluto but I can’t get my cell to stay at 3 bars? Something is not right.

Pluto is a planet, never understood the stupid decision to change it

It’s a planet. They’ll figure it out some day.

When this was arriving to Pluto I thought wow 2006-2015 was a long time. Now here we are 2015-2024. Same amount of time has passed. Time sure flies!

Astronomers were shocked as they never expected to find a replica of the three pyramids of Giza upon the permanantly frozen surface of Pluto.

Pluto's complexities revealed by New Horizons still fascinate me. It's incredible how this once distant and mysterious world has become a source of such intrigue and potential

Pluto feels like a Planet trapped in the body of a dwarf

The discovery of Styx inspired us to Come Sail Away

The new information about Pluto is very great information there is so much secrets about the universe that we are continuing to find every year😊 I am excited to see more videos like these you guys keep up with the great work

This spacecraft is as old as me. I was five years old in 2006. And I had no idea about the spacecraft until Angry Birds space was counting down to the flyby of Pluto.

What I find with watching videos like this is that they give you a feeling of what it would like to be on a different planet other than Earth. Just amazing 👏

The opening of this video makes it feel like it's going to be some hour long epic, but then you realize they probably only have a handful of pics to work with and the video is only 16 ½ minutes.
😄👍

Great video but damn, that was one seriously awkward hug at 4:38!

[dromsealis]

I didn't know how visually *_colorful_* Pluto is. There's grey, silver, maroon, mahogany, dark orange, a slab of navy blue...
What made this dwarf planet such an array of eyecandy appeal?

[PREDATOR]

Just leave poor pluto alone. Poor little thing.

[craigthescott]

Pluto needs to be reinstated as a full planet.

If PLUTO could talk, it would file discrimination and planet racism against NASA! PLUTO IS A PLANET damnit.
