Watch: NASA’s New Horizons’ video of Pluto’s surface

It may not be a video in the traditional sense of the word, but a collage of over a hundred remarkable high definition photos in sequence is just as good. NASA’s compilation of images that the New Horizons spacecraft took while journeying towards the dwarf planet is truly awesome.

In the video, viewers can see details of Pluto's surface. The planet is the furthest away from Earth, from among the other eight planets in our solar system.

The spacecraft flew for over 9 years and crossed a distance of about 3 billion miles to visit Pluto. The mission roughly cost $700 million and got the spacecraft within 7,800 miles from Pluto’s surface.

NASA used over 100 images which were taken over 6 weeks in 2015 for the composite video.

NASA’s New Horizons is the first spacecraft to complete an entire reconnaissance of all the classical planets. 

If all goes as planned, the spacecraft will be on its way to another distant planet in 2019.
