New Horizon's Pluto Mission

On July 14th this year NASA’s space probe successfully completed a flyby past Pluto after a decade of time. What initially was an expensive endeavor was paid off by high resolution images of the planet that has never been seen before. One popular image captures the planet’s red-brownish surface from afar. This is interesting because Pluto was once thought to be a dull gray or blue due to the icy face.
