We saw the heart of #Pluto 10 years ago—it’ll be a long wait to see the rest
#NASA's #NewHorizons #spacecraft answered numerous questions about Pluto that have lingered since its discovery by #astronomer Clyde Tombaugh in 1930. As is often the case with planetary exploration, the results from New Horizons' flyby of Pluto on July 14, 2015, posed countless more questions. First and foremost, how did such a dynamic world come to be so far from the Sun?

Me acaba de trollear el Animal Crossing?

Hace semanas reventé un globo de esos que vienen con regalo, cayó en una zona inaccesible...

Llevo viéndola ahí burlarse de mí desde entonces. Yo pensaba que en 3 dias o una semana despawnearía o algo, pero qué va.

Por fin me dejan construir la escalerilla, lo primero que hago es ir a por esa caja...

ERA UNA ESCALERA

Que sea solo decorativa no lo hace menos cruel.

Breaking: NASA's New Horizons discovers "revolutionary" navigation technique called... looking at stars!

Sure, it's only accurate to within 60 million km (vs ground control's few meters), but it works autonomously light-years from home. Ancient mariners would be proud!

Ratona 0 - Tarántula 1

Aún me falta encontrar un sofá blanco y hacerme otra silla manzana ultracoqueta para que me quede un saloncito de lo más idealo. Tengo el dormitorio en tono madera oscura (preciosísimo, de tarde le saco una foto), así que en el salón grande he optado por tonos más luminosos.
