Amazing video. But do note,<p>&gt; <i>Images from this spectacular passage have been color enhanced, vertically scaled, and digitally combined</i><p>I was <i>quite</i> surprised at the height of various features. Turns out yeah Pluto&#x27;s not actually that wildly mountainous.

I highly recommend the book Chasing New Horizons to learn more about the New Horizons mission.

I wish the video editing was done at Hollywood because damn it they have great CGI. I want an immersive experience with these space videos, and as soon as I notice low-quality simulated mountains&#x2F;etc., the whole experience goes away.

Pluto is 40x further from the sun than Earth.<p>That means it gets 1&#x2F;1600 (0.06%) as much sunlight as us.<p>I know the eye can adapt a lot to low light, but I doubt Pluto would look anywhere as bright to a human traveller as the video shows.

It&#x27;s amazing to me that we&#x27;re capable of flying a craft anywhere near that close to something that size that far away.

man i could spend hours just watching stuff like this - pluto doesn&#x27;t even feel real to me half the time. ever catch yourself wondering if we&#x27;ll ever just get to walk around a world like that for real?

I am getting timeouts for the NASA Site, that never happened to me before. I guess DOGE strikes again :(
