Edited New Horizons PR image of a backlit Pluto showing lots of detail along the limb.

Original caption: This is the highest-resolution color departure shot of Pluto's receding crescent from NASA's New Horizons spacecraft, taken when the spacecraft was 120,000 miles (200,000 kilometers) away from Pluto. Shown in approximate true color, the picture was constructed from a mosaic of six black-and-white images from the Long Range Reconnaissance Imager (LORRI), with color added from a lower resolution Ralph/Multispectral Visible Imaging Camera (MVIC) color image, all acquired between 15:20 and 15:45 UT – about 3.5 hours after closest approach to Pluto – on July 14, 2015. The resolution of the LORRI images is about 0.6 miles (1 kilometer) per pixel; the sun illuminates the scene from the other side of Pluto and somewhat toward the top of this image.
The image is dominated by spectacular layers of blue haze in Pluto's atmosphere. Scientists believe the haze is a photochemical smog resulting from the action of sunlight on methane and other molecules in Pluto's atmosphere, producing a complex mixture of hydrocarbons such as acetylene and ethylene. These hydrocarbons accumulate into small haze particles, a fraction of a micrometer in size, which preferentially scatter blue sunlight – the same process that can make haze appear bluish on Earth.
As they settle down through the atmosphere, the haze particles form numerous intricate, horizontal layers, some extending for hundreds of miles around large portions of the limb of Pluto. The haze layers extend to altitudes of over 120 miles (200 kilometers). Pluto's circumference is 4,667 miles (7,466 kilometers).
Adding to the beauty of this picture are mountains and other topographic features on Pluto's surface that are silhouetted against the haze near the top of the image. Sunlight casts dramatic and beautiful finger-like shadows from many of these features onto the haze (especially on the left, near the 11 o'clock position), forming crepuscular rays like those often seen in Earth's atmosphere near sunrise or sunset.

This processed color image is the highest-resolution look, as of yet, at the haze layers in Pluto's atmosphere. Shown in approximate true color, the picture was constructed from a mosaic of four panchromatic images from the Long Range Reconnaissance Imager (LORRI) splashed with Ralph/Multispectral Visible Imaging Camera (MVIC) four-color filter data, all acquired by NASA's New Horizons spacecraft on July 14, 2015. The resolution is 1 kilometer (0.6 miles) per pixel; the sun illuminates the scene from the right.
SO CLOSE!!!
NASA's New Horizons probe on it way to the Planet Pluto will make contact in 19 hours and 35 minutes from this posting!!
Traveling at 38000 miles per hour, the probe still has another 741,000 miles to go. A drop in the bucket in its over 3 BILLION mile journey!!
NASA has been posting up the RAW photos that the probe has been taking online. So I grabbed one of them and used my editing skills to bring out even more detail and color!!
Enjoy!
On my first day out shooting with the new Nikon Z6 I had the opportunity to shoot Mickey's Once Upon a Christmastime Parade at the Magic Kingdom. I have to say, although these were about the least difficult shooting conditions ever, I'm still super happy with how the camera held up to these conditions
Cargo ship Pluto sailing down the River Thames, at Tilbury Ness. The pylons are a matched pair, one on the Swanscombe Peninsula, Kent, the other in Grays, Essex; the tallest in the UK, straddling the Thames.
Shot 20 July 2016, uploaded 13 May 2022, when Pluto is sailing from Moerdijk to Dordrecht, Netherlands.
By 1919 business was booming as over 450 railroad carloads of Pluto Water were shipped in a year, and sales reached $1,249,401.08. A substantial part of Taggart’s income could now be traced to the sale of Pluto Water. Pluto Water was sold over drugstore counters around the world and took first prize at the Worlds Fair in Paris. In 1948, the Pluto operation became separate entity; production ceased in 1971 after one of the naturally occurring elements in Pluto Water, Lithium, came into use as a drug treatment of bipolar disorder and was classified as a controlled substance. The current Pluto Corporation, which includes the 1913 bottling plant across from the hotel on IN56, bottles household chemicals and manufactures plastic containers.

Die Schachthalle von Pluto Schacht 3 hier in der Nachbarschaft wird grade abgerissen. Bald ist auch die Halle von Consol 9 dran.
Seit 1971 haben die Standorte der Wanner Zeche Pluto zur Bergwerksdirektion Consolidation gehört, auch dieser, Pluto Wilhelm an der Wilhelmstraße.
Alteration of the official New Horizons "extended color" release in order to approximate true color.
This works on the assumption that the green and blue channels in the official MVIC release represent essentially raw MVIC red and blue filters. The green and blue channels were blended (55% red, 45% blue; determined by comparing to older true color image releases). The green channel in the official image release became red, and the synthetic green channel was inserted in its place.

New Horizons Voyage to Pluto - the NASA July full disk raw images stacked and deconvolved by me from New Horizons LORRI images with color added from Ralph data. Stacked in Nebulosity, deconvolved in Lynkeos, stretched and color stacked in Photoshop.

Pluto's Diner used to be an automobile service station. With a slap of colour and some design it's now a great diner in Victoria BC. Saturday breakfast was good while we sketched. It was cool outside but I managed to sketch the architecture while running in for the odd bite of ham and eggs. I finished colouring the sketch at home.

Pluto trigger.
It has been a while since I ventured forth and tried to use the pluto trigger.. but after about ten minutes I finally worked it out..
Next time I won't miss most of the lightning bolts.. doh
Granado Pluto is here! Too gorgeous to put clothes on yet - I am enjoying his exquisitely sculpted hot body. His facial sculpt is so real - when I look at him I expect he will speak .....
ENTERING THE LAST STRETCH!!
6 Hours, 19 Minutes & 196,873 Miles (318,836 Km) left until the New Horizons probe makes its closest approach with Pluto!
Check this out!! NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration posted newer photos of Pluto and it's largest moon, Charon!!
I again took these images, edited them and this time laid them together showing their orbital paths! The image ended up being so large that I used my Flickr online albums to host the photo. Check it out at full resolution to get all the awesomeness!!
Enjoy!!
