Increasingly, technological evolution is taking the human being to another level in the world of photography. Having been able to significantly evolve cameras, lenses, and other objects over the years and years of study, now is the time for planetary portraits to come to the fore.
In fact, a probe sent into space about nine years ago by the name of New Horizon may finally fulfill its mission. According to information from NASA and also published on the Popular Photography site, humanity can, for the first time in its history, see with such sharpness and color contrast an image of the dwarf planet Pluto, the most distant of those belonging to the solar planet. system. .
- Sent by the US space agency to collect more detailed information on the exact conditions of the climate.
- Soil and environment of the furthest point of our chain of planets.
- The arrival of New Horizon at a distance of 768 thousand kilometers from the surface of Pluto was already a cause for great celebration.
- Which was very evident in NASA Administrator Charles Bolden’s statement.
Did you even take the opportunity to do so?Give a touch?the old history of the Americans who first arrived on the moon, with Lewis Armstrong in the 1960s, recalling the eternal technological competition with the former Soviets (currently divided into several nations such as Russia, Ukraine, Serbia, etc. ) and those who claim Instead, have gone to the site with the expedition led by Yuri Gagarin.
“Once again, we managed to be the first in history. America is the first country to reach Pluto, and with this mission we have completed the initial recognition of our solar system, a remarkable achievement that no other nation can match,” Charles said.
The original image had no way of having any coloration because the camera installed on the New Horizon did not have this ability to distinguish. However, thanks to the graphic manipulation carried out in black and white tones adjusted to a resolution that can even detect many details of Pluto’s surface, it was possible to obtain a color photograph.
Is the detail that draws the most attention to this issue with the resolution of the photo is to see some kind of “heart”?present on the dwarf planet, this region is being speculated by specialists as part of a geological process that may take place at the site.
Despite being the fastest probe ever built by the United States, due to the amount of information accumulated from Pluto and also from other members of the solar system by New Horizon over the last decade, NASA estimates that it will be possible to receive all this data in one. about 16 months.
