In July 2015, NASA New Horizon spacecraft sent back first close-up images of Pluto and its moons, allowing many at Earth to wonder what it would be like to flyover the icy terrains of the planet Pluto. It’s been two years since the first set of images were released and now, the space agency is celebrating the milestone. NASA has released a couple of videos “that offer new perspectives of the many unusual features that were discovered and which reshaped views of the Pluto system”.
Do note that the videos are not actual footages and are created using data and digital elevation models of Pluto and its largest moon Charon.
