Strange But True

Fly Over video of Pluto's Ice Mountains getting closer with each pass, over the next few weeks more and more of the surface images will become available in ever great detail.  As somebody pointed out the cost of this mission 9.5 years the team the craft the flight divide by the distance 3 Billion Miles comes out at around 22 cents per mile and the further it travels the cheaper it will become ;-) And successive governments have reduce their investment in space. If you think they should be doing more, for future missions for the children of the future, share this post. #fixed1t

Here is a section of Pluto's southern hemisphere as photographed by New Horizons as is shot towards Pluto.  The detail is stunning. Interestingly it looks like a close-up of a huge whales head complete with eye and barnacles. This science is brilliant.  What we also know now is that should humans decide to explore space, there is a massive energy source at Pluto, like a huge filling station. The question is where is the methane coming from, methane is usually a by product of life. #fixed1t

+Charmedone9805 Hi, Thanks for watching the video and leaving a comment.   That giant heart shaped piece reminds me of scare tissue on a big deep wound.  Its as if something huge impacted to the left and an enormous section was fired into space, not too far as it formed the Moon Charon. and the semi molten Pluto smoothed over the area as it released whatever was below.   Also it appears they are made of similar materials. The questions remains where were they formed? Malcolm (aka fixed1t) #fixed1t

NASA has released amazing false colour images from New Horizons 'Ralph' and 'Alice' instruments. These images use false colour to highlight the diverse composition of Pluto and its large moon Charon. Read more about it here #fixed1t

Almost there, 3 billion miles and 9 year old technology and the images are stunning, can't wait for the close up images tomorrow.  Who says money on space exploration is wasted.  The cost must now work out at .0000001 cent a mile of something even smaller.

Great fly over of Pluto's moon from the latest New Horizons mission images. #fixed1t

Amazing new footage from NASA New Horizons showing the red pluto and its moon which I've converted into an Ambient Fly Over. Malcolm aka #fixed1t

Another amazing NASA Mission is nearing its conclusion at Pluto, its amazing to think a mission started 9 years ago is still working and bring humans more knowledge of this tiny enclave of the insignificant galaxy we call home. #fixed1t
