The New horizons NASA's rover was launched in 2006 with the goal of a close flyby of Pluto. According to the US space company, New Horizons is very close to its destination.
Most of Pluto's photos that have been published to date were simply artistic depictions trying to imagine the blue planet. From today we are ready to have the first detailed, colorful images of the planet.
An application released by NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab for Mac and PC called "Eyes in the Solar System" or "Eyes on the Solar System"Will allow you to watch live simulations of the New Horizons approach on the planet from your computer.
You can watch what he sees, how he goes and what he will photograph.
Let's mention again that it's just a simulation, but it's the best we can at this time, since it's not possible to make Livestream from a spacecraft that's so far away.
The spacecraft will reach the nearest point of Pluto in about 24 hours. It will reach 12.500 km from surface of the planet, giving the opportunity to scientists and the world to enjoy for the first time close-ups of Pluto.
As it approaches New Horizons, it continues shooting, which will allow for a detailed mapping of the planet's surface for the first time.
NASA has already begun publishing the photographs of Pluto and its moon, Harrodas. The photos provide incredible knowledge for scientists.
