    Pluto's Moons! Oddly shaped Hydra and color Nix images reach Earth

    Published on Jul 21, 2015

    Hydra and Nix were snapped by NASA's New Horizons' mission from a distance of ~600,000 kilometers on July 13th and again on July 14th at a distance of 231,000 kilometer/143,000 miles (Hydra) and 165,000 kilometers/102,000 miles (Nix). The Nix July 14th image was color enhanced using data from the probe's Ralph instrument.

    This is the full extended version of the film I had the honor of making for the National Space Society to promote NASAs New Horizons spacecraft and its historic reconnaissance mission to Pluto and its system of moons on July 14 2015 - the very first exploration of this system in human history.
    I got to work closely with the missions principal investigator Alan Stern and I am grateful for his and the rest of his team's confidence in me to make this film.

    Pluto Fly By By

    Published on Aug 31, 2015

    “Fly By By,” an educational parody of NSync’s “Bye Bye Bye,” was created by the interns of Johns Hopkins APL’s Space Exploration Sector. It is a tribute to the historic Pluto fly by made by NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft on July 14, 2015, and to the scientific and engineering achievements of the mission. The lyrics and scenes in this video have been re-imagined in order to inform the public about the Pluto fly by and New Horizons mission.

    New Horizons is part of NASA’s New Frontiers Program, managed by the agency’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala.

    APL designed, built, and operates the New Horizons spacecraft and manages the mission for NASA’s Science Mission Directorate.

    Lyrics:
    Nine years to see the sight,
    At the edge of our sun’s starlight,
    Surprise us you just might
    New Horizons come on

    Pluto’s secrets held so dear,
    Composition and atmosphere,
    But now the time is here and the power is on.

    I know that you can go explore,
    Up in the sky,
    You want to see KBOs some more,
    Pluto fly by, by.
    Fly by.

    LORRI got some pics of you,
    PEPSSI snapped an AWOL ion or two,
    Uncover secrets such as when, where, why,
    Pluto Fly by, by
    Fly by.

    We found Pluto has a heart of gold
    And a young surface that’s very cold
    It might sound crazy,
    But it ain’t no lie,
    Pluto fly by, by.

    (Pluto)
    Tombaugh had you in his sight,
    Now he’s passed you on a flight.
    3.7 billion miles
    Pluto come on

    In CU Boulder we trust,
    That SDC would count the dust,
    And Pluto will be much clearer
    Once you’re gone.

    I know that you can go explore,
    Up in the sky,
    You want to see KBOs some more,
    Pluto fly by by.
    Fly by.

    LORRI got some pics of you
    False color split that heart into two
    Uncover secrets such as when, where why,
    Pluto fly by by.
    Fly by.

    APL has got a stellar crew,
    It’s got the right tech and people too (ooh, ooh).
    It’s not crazy,
    And it ain’t no lie,
    Pluto fly by by.

    Alan Stern is rockin’ the show,
    He started preparations 14 years ago.
    Fly by.

    Don’t give up,
    Don’t be signin’ off,
    As explained by superstar Shia Labeouf
    (Just Do It)

    There wasn’t any sway or swerve,
    As it observed,
    What used to be number 9!
    Fly by by

    We are making history (history)
    And let’s all decree,
    What was said by our friend Bill Nye.

    Take your mark, get to the gates,
    An all new era of exploration awaits (We’re making history)
    And it ain’t no lie
    Pluto fly by by.

    It went fast,
    Data’s coming in hot.

    Exploring space with only 200 watts

    Signal ain’t hazy

    Pluto don’t be shy

    Fly By Bye
