NASA just released a new photo of everyone's favorite dwarf planet, and it's something to behold.
Taken from 120,000 miles behind Pluto by NASA's New Horizons, the shot perfectly captures (http://pluto.jhuapl.edu/Multimedia/Science-Photos/image.php?page=1&gallery_id=2&image_id=485) Pluto's blue haze.

The photo's the result of six black-and-white photos stitched together, with color added from separate photos taken in July 2015, just hours after the New Horizons spacecraft made its closest approach to Pluto, NASA says.
This allowed scientists to get one of their best shots yet of the dwarf planet's blue haze. The haze, backlit by the light of the sun, is caused by the same phe**me**n that makes haze here on Earth sometimes look blue, scientists say. If you look closely, the haze also illuminates Pluto's mountains (near the top left side of the image.)* Read more...
