Pluto finally exposed: Pictures from Pluto reach Earth after amazing NASA mission

Pictures of Pluto are now being sent to Earth

Pluto has finally revealed itself to humankind, after being a mystical planet located beyond the depths of the Milky Way for so long. NASA's New Horizons spacecraft has finally sent images of Pluto to Earth last Tuesday. With the lone planet, located 3 billion miles away from Earth, now seen in pictures man continues to look beyond what lies deeper in the universe.

MUNTINLUPA CITY, PHILIPPINES (Catholic Online) - Confirmations of a successful mission to the planet Pluto is recently confirmed with images of the dwarf planet sent by NASA's New Horizons spacecraft to planet Earth.

Several indications lead to the assumption that the New Horizons was finally closing in on the lone and undiscovered world of Pluto. It was last Tuesday night when the mission sent a phone call to Earth and confirmed the dwarf planet is indeed a world now known and seen by men.

The successful encounter was the last pit stop of NASA's New Horizons grand tour of the planets in the Milky Way for the past half-century. The journey of the New Horizon started years ago, back when Pluto was still considered as a full-pledged planet.

"This is truly a hallmark in human history," shared John Grunsfeld, NASA's science mission chief. "It's been an incredible voyage."

According to NASA's reports, the images were brought by the baby grand piano sized spacecraft that did a swept of Pluto's 7,700 miles at a rate of 31,000 mph. It was intended and programmed to study the dwarf planet.

A picture of Pluto was shared by the scientist and was sent to planet Earth for all to enjoy a glimpse of the mysterious lone planet in our solar system.

Better images will start "raining" down on Earth, as promised by the missions' principal scientist, Alan Stern. He cautioned everyone to "stay tuned" until New Horizons contacted home.

It takes four and half bd} hours for signals to travel one-way between New Horizons and Earth. Stern reminds the public that the mission is a true one and the New Horizons journey is a scary mission on uncharted boundaries of unknown areas of the universe. The possibilities of encountering cosmic debris and threats are always present, things that may potentially destroy the mission.

The whole world is happy and celebrating for mans historical mission to Pluto. Further developments and discoveries about the dwarf planet are expected to be revealed to the public in the coming days.
