The NASA on Wednesday unveiled new images of Pluto captured a day earlier by the New Horizons spacecraft. Above, an animation made by the agency that combines several observations of Pluto in the course of several decades.
The first table is a digital zoom-in of the planet as it appeared in its discovery by Clyde Tombaugh 1930 (image courtesy of Lowell Observatory Archives).
The other images show various views of Pluto as seen by the Hubble Space Telescope NASA from the 1990s and the spacecraft New Horizons NASA in 2015.
The final sequence approaches a frame near Pluto released on July 15, 2015.
The photographs taken the ship and transmitted to Earth are taken from the nearest Pluto point we could reach the ship, a milestone in the history of space exploration.
The New Horizons space explorer NASA sent proof of his triumph on Tuesday from 4,800 million kilometers (3,000 million miles) away scientists waiting longingly at home. Confirmation of the success of the mission came 13 hours after the historic event has taken place. Prior evidence had been encouraging, and a celebration with cheers and flags around the headquarters of the mission in Maryland at the time of closest approach on Tuesday morning.
But until told New Horizons home Tuesday night, there was no guarantee that the space explorer had gone through the icy dwarf planet.
The meeting unprecedented was the last leg of the NASA by the planets of our solar system . Pluto New Horizons reached after an epic journey that began nine years ago and a half, when Pluto was still considered a full planet, not a dwarf planet. According to NASA, the ship approached 12,390 kilometers (7.700 miles) of Pluto at a speed of 49.890 kph (31.000 mph). Photographs of its closest approach should be available from miércoles.-Agencies
