Computer-generated composite view of Pluto and Charon filled with about 2,100 #PlutoTime images shared on social media.
NASA is unveiling mosaics of Pluto and its largest moon Charon, representing the global response to its popular "#PlutoTime" social media campaign. The Pluto Time concept and widget was developed by the New Horizons science team so that people could experience the approximate sunlight level on Pluto at noon-generally around dawn or dusk on Earth. Thousands of those submissions have now been assembled into three stunning mosaics of Pluto, Charon, and a combined image of the two. The mosaics include not only dim skies on Earth, but famous landmarks, selfies, and even family pets.
