The Pluto Wow, now in Living Color! September 24, 2015 3:41 pm Robert

It hasn’t become routine yet, going to the New Horizons project page and saying “wow!”, over and over and over. A while back they said they’d be doing these big releases every Friday, but today is only Thursday. I wonder if something will drop tomorrow that will top this?

Snakeskin terrain

From Pluto’s Mountains to Its Plains

Pluto in Extended Color(tease)

Ice Mountains and Plains

Mapping Pluto’s Methane Ice

And, last but of course not least, the spectacular money shot image that’s becoming a recurring feature of these image release…
