Pluto Was Ready for Its Close-Up

NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft sailed by Pluto on July 13, after travelling 3 billion miles in 9 years, on its way to the Kuiper Belt and its mysteries, but not before relaying back this wonderful image of the dwarf planet among many others:

I love that image so much.  Knowing that Pluto is so far away and all alone at the edges of the Solar System, it just looks so melancholy and beautiful.
