This topic is for all New Horizons Pluto surface observations received after 1 Feb 2016.
-------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

Slightly uncertain about which thread this belongs in, but using my best judgement and posting it here.
With a lot of older approach imagery finally making it down to Earth, I've been doing some stuff with it and wanted to just share this little animation that was a byproduct of what I'm working on because I think it looks kinda neat. Here's an animation of approach imagery from July 7th to July 10th (after that, Pluto and Charon were imaged separately). The scale has been adjusted for each frame to correct for the change in distance and they've been rotated to have Charon coming down at a 45-degree angle from Pluto. The animation plays at 267,375 times actual speed. (click for full-size) |
