Watch: Here’s what it’s like to fly past Pluto in a rocket ship

It’s been two years since NASA’s research spacecraft, New Horizons, zoomed past Pluto on its never-ending voyage into space.

To celebrate the milestone, and to take advantage of the data and photos NASA collected along the way, the agency released a new video on Friday showing Earth-bound viewers what it would be like to fly past Pluto’s surface.

The video is just a model, so not actual video footage, but it’s pretty cool nonetheless. The only bummer is there’s no audio — I’d recommend Elton John’s “Rocket Man” or R. Kelly’s “I Believe I Can Fly” if you want some soothing, appropriately themed background tunes.

The video shows everything from ice plains to mountain ranges, and was created using “data and digital elevation models” that NASA collected during New Horizons’ fly by. (NASA explains more specifics about what you’re seeing in the summary below the YouTube video.)

If you enjoy the Pluto video, NASA also made one showing a flyover of Charon, Pluto’s largest moon.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?

Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple reasons that we can't rely only on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on.

First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.

Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. We can’t do that if we have a paywall.

That’s why we also turn to you, our readers, to help us keep Vox free. If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today?
