New Horizons Pluto Magnets

Even though the Pluto flyby (New Horizons) mission happened a couple years ago (and the launch over 10 years ago), this little guy with so much love for Earth helped skyrocket my social media game to the next level. The original image was shared on Reddit and is still one of the top posts in /r/nasa as well as shared or copied or sent around the world hundreds of thousands of times.

Did I say "planet"...?

Dwarf planets are like orphan moons

NASA scientists discover numerous facts about Pluto and Charon on the New Horizons flyby, Pluto's blue atmosphere being one. I'm sure there is still much to be uncovered as data is streamed back across the billions of kilometres. I'm sure they're out there, just waiting for us to grow up a little more...or maybe a lot more :) This digital painting has gone through many iteration. It started as a doodle and I got carried away with it, to the point that I decided to turn it into a Grand Space Opera :)

I heart Pluto :)

Dwarf planet Pluto. Enhanced colour view of Pluto from the New Horizons space probe. Pluto and its moon Charon lie in the Kuiper Belt, some 40 times further from the Sun than Earth. Pluto has a surface with regions of dark, light and orange land which change with the seasons, indicating a complex geology and climate. It is thought these regions are made up of nitrogen and methane ices, overlying a rocky core. New Horizons was launched in January 2006, and arrived at Pluto in 2015. Data obtained by the spacecraft's Ralph/Multispectral Visual Imaging Camera (MVIC) on 14th July 2015.

Pluto still loves you.
