New Horizons scientists used enhanced color images to detect differences in the composition and texture of Pluto’s surface. When close-up images were combined with color data from the Ralph instrument, it painted a new and surprising portrait of the dwarf planet. The “heart of the heart,” Sputnik Planum, is suggested to be a source region of ices. The two bluish-white “lobes” that extend to the southwest and northeast of the “heart” may represent exotic ices being transported away from Sputnik Planum.
Four images from New Horizons’ Long Range Reconnaissance Imager (LORRI) were combined with color data from the Ralph instrument to create this enhanced color global view. The images, taken when the spacecraft was 280,000 miles (450,000 kilometers) away, show features as small as 1.4 miles (2.2 kilometers).
This is a wide field imaged of Pluto on the night of the 5th of July 2016. The bright star to the left is Albaldah in Sagittarius and Pluto is just to the right. If you want to see where then look at my other cropped and animated image.

Several people and missions who paved the way for the historic exploration of Pluto and the Kuiper Belt – the farthest worlds ever explored – are honored in the second set of official Pluto feature names approved by the International Astronomical Union (IAU), the international authority for naming celestial bodies and their surface features. The new names were proposed by NASA’s New Horizons team, which carried out the first reconnaissance of Pluto and its moons with the New Horizons spacecraft in 2015. This map, compiled from images and data gathered by NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft during its flight through the Pluto system in 2015, also contains Pluto feature names previously approved by the IAU. Names from the newest round of nominations are in yellow on the image.
It was here that Clyde Tombaugh took the photos that led to the discovery of Pluto. You can call it a planet or a Kuiper Belt Object. It is an important discovery either way.
Astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) are making high-precision measurements of Pluto's location and orbit around the Sun to help NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft accurately home in on its target when it nears Pluto and its five known moons in July 2015. This picture shows the cold surface of Pluto and its largest moon Charon as seen with ALMA on 15 July 2014.

"I offer you my palace and my crown, and all the riches that are under the earth; and you treat me as if I were doing you an injury. The one thing which my palace needs is a merry little maid, to run upstairs and down, and cheer up the rooms with her smile. And this is what you must do for King Pluto."
"Never!" answered Proserpina, looking as miserable as she could. "I shall never smile again till you set me down at my mother's door."
But she might just as well have talked to the wind that whistled past them, for Pluto urged on his horses, and went faster than ever. Proserpina continued to cry out, and screamed so long and so loudly that her poor little voice was almost screamed away; and when it was nothing but a whisper, she happened to cast her eyes over a great broad field of waving grain--and whom do you think she saw? Who, but Mother Ceres, making the corn grow, and too busy to notice the golden chariot as it went rattling along. The child mustered all her strength, and gave one more scream, but was out of sight before Ceres had time to turn her head.

Time seams to stand still when you have both arm in cast and wait to get further in your healing. I have taken some time of from Flickr and used it for being personal assistant to my Love after a traffic accident. She is now managing the most by herself and I will try to spend some time with my friends on Flickr.

Pluto is an American cartoon character created by Walt Disney. He is a yellow-orange colour, medium-sized, short-haired dog with black ears. Unlike most Disney characters, Pluto is not anthropomorphic beyond some characteristics such as facial expression. The playful and often distracted dog first appeared in the cartoon The Chain Gang (1930).
In The Chain Gang (Burt Gillett, 1930), Pluto appeared as a bloodhound on the trail of escaped prisoner Mickey and was then called Rover. On October 23 of that same year, The Picnic (Burt Gillett, 1940) was released. Pluto was Minnie's dog and was named Rover. Six months later, in the film The Moose Hunt< (Burt Gillett, 1931), his name was changed to Pluto, and he was given his new owner, Mickey Mouse. He owes his name to the planet of the same name discovered that same year. Pluto appeared in 24 Mickey Mouse films before receiving his own series in 1937. In 1937, Pluto was given his own cartoon series. The first of these was Pluto`s Quin-Puplets (Ben Sharpsteen, 1937).
Together with Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, and Goofy, Pluto is one of the "Sensational Six"—the biggest stars in the Disney universe. Though all six are non-human animals, Pluto alone is not dressed as a human. Most stories feature Pluto as Mickey's faithful quadruped, but sometimes Pluto's boss does not appear on screen, and Pluto gets into a fight with Chip and Dale or with other dogs. Bill Farmer is the (English-language) voice actor for Pluto. All together Pluto appeared in 89 short films between 1930 and 1953. Several of these were nominated for an Academy Award, including The Pointer (1939), Squatter's Rights (1946), Pluto's Blue Note (1947), and Mickey and the Seal (1948). One film starring him, Lend a Paw (1941), won the award in 1942. Because Pluto does not speak, his films generally rely on physical humour. This made Pluto a pioneering figure in character animation, by expressing personality through animation rather than dialogue. He returned to theatrical animation with The Prince and the Pauper (1990) and has also appeared in several direct-to-video films and TV series.

Pluto, kompisen, ser så fundersam ut, trivs ute på isen i Ekerum på Öland. Jag saknar min Pluto, bara borra in huvudet i hans päls, han var så go. Ska jag skaffa hund fler gånger, så blir det definitivt en Landseer. Pluto, min stoner kompis!
Pluto, the friend, looks so thoughtful, out on the ice in Ekerum on Öland. I miss my Pluto, just drill my head into his fur, he was so good. If I get a dog more times, it will definitely be a Landseer. The stoner dog!
Pluto is depicted as the Egyptiam deities Serapis, who was worshiped in the Greek word from the Hellenistic period onwards.
Pluto-Serapis has the “modius” on his head, an utensil used for the measurement of grain.
This is a typical example of syncretism, namely the mingling and integration of beliefs from different religions during Hellenistic and Roman times.

Da Sailor Pluto meine Lieblings-Sailor-Kriegerin ist... liegt es nahe, dass ich mir von ihr als erstes eine Pullip hole xD
Leider kommt die Pullip nur in ihrem Sailor Outfit... Die limitierten Releases kommen noch zusätzlich mit einem Outfit... was es jetzt auch nicht sonderlich raus reißt... (und es steht, meiner Meinung nach, mit dem Mehrpreis so überhaupt nicht in Relation)
