Can we all vote on Pluto being a planet or something? Yea, scientific definitions blah blah. Come back when you've resolved quantum mechanics and relativity. In the meantime we can make an exception.

New Horizons is the ONLY Spacecraft that get close to Pluto. It sent us a huge amount of data and pictures. Check this out:

#OTD in 2006, NASA's New Horizons left Earth, ultimately changing our understanding of Pluto, the Kuiper Belt, and beyond. Now, 5.2 billion miles away (and counting), New Horizons and NASAVoyager are the farthest operational human-made objects in space.

What if you could fly over Pluto's moon Charon -- what might you see? The New Horizons spacecraft did just this in 2015 July as it zipped past Pluto and Charon with cameras blazing. The images recorded allowed for a digital reconstruction of much of Charon's surface, further enabling the creation of fictitious flights over Charon created from this data. One such fanciful, minute-long, time-lapse video is shown here with vertical heights and colors of surface features digitally enhanced. Your journey begins over a wide chasm that divides different types of Charon's landscapes, a chasm that might have formed when Charon froze through. You soon turn north and fly over a colorful depression dubbed Mordor that, one hypothesis holds, is an unusual remnant from an ancient impact. Your voyage continues over an alien landscape rich with never-before-seen craters, mountains, and crevices. The robotic New Horizons spacecraft has too much momentum to ever return to Pluto and Charon and is now headed out of our Solar System. Video Credit: NASA, JHUAPL, SwRI, P. Schenk & J. Blackwell (LPI); Music: Juicy by ALBIS

NASA's solar sail spacecraft is testing a new way to navigate the solar system using the power of sunlight. The spacecraft was launched aboard a Rocket Lab rocket and moves without conventional fuel. In the future, this technology could allow spacecraft to reach Mars in as little as 26 days.

What would it look like to fly past Triton, the largest moon of planet Neptune? Only one spacecraft has ever done this -- and the images of this dramatic encounter have been gathered into a video. In 1989, the Voyager 2 robotic spacecraft shot through the Neptune system with cameras blazing. Triton is slightly smaller than Earth's Moon but has ice volcanoes and a surface rich in frozen nitrogen. The first sequence in the video shows Voyager's approach to Triton, which, with the exception of an overall false green tint, appears in approximately true color. The mysterious cantaloupe terrain seen under the spacecraft soon changed from light to dark, with the terminator of night crossing underneath. After closest approach, Voyager pivoted to see the departing moon, now visible as a diminishing crescent. In 2015, the robotic New Horizons spacecraft famously flew past Pluto, an orb of similar size to Triton. Image Credit: NASA; JPL, Voyager 2, Digital composition: Paul Schenk (LPI, USRA)

What if you could fly over Pluto -- what might you see? The New Horizons spacecraft did just this in 2015 July as it shot past the distant world at a speed of about 80,000 kilometers per hour. Images from this spectacular passage have been color enhanced, vertically scaled, and digitally combined into the featured two-minute time-lapse video. As your journey begins, light dawns on mountains thought to be composed of water ice but colored by frozen nitrogen. Soon, to your right, you see a flat sea of mostly solid nitrogen that has segmented into strange polygons that are thought to have bubbled up from a comparatively warm interior. Craters and ice mountains are common sights below. The video dims and ends over terrain dubbed bladed because it shows 500-meter high ridges separated by kilometer-sized gaps. The robotic New Horizons spacecraft has too much momentum to ever return to Pluto and is now headed out of our Solar System. Video Credit: NASA, JHUAPL, SwRI, P. Schenk & J.

It seems familiar to us, perhaps the Himalayan mountain range seen though a frozen haze. But this is a far away place… This is Pluto as seen by the New Horizons spacecraft (NASA/JHUAPL/SwRI). Someday, not too distant next century, humans will see this out their window.
