Pluto
FILE - This image made available by NASA on Friday, July 24, 2015 shows a combination of images captured by the New Horizons spacecraft with enhanced colors to show differences in the composition and texture of Pluto's surface. On Wednesday, Nov. 16, 2016, scientists said that Pluto may have rolled over on its axis eons ago, the result of tidal forces with jumbo moon Charon, and that a subsurface sea is the most likely explanation.

No one has landed on Pluto yet, but a new video from NASA lets everyone see exactly what it would be like if they did.

NASA released “footage” last week of an imagined Pluto landing, comprised of over 100 pictures that the New Horizons spacecraft captured during its summer 2015 Pluto flyby. The video’s creators started with detailed images in black and white, as well as overlay low-resolution color photos from the Ralph color camera onboard to simulate the approach in brilliant colors.
