On Friday, NASA released the first in a series of Pluto close-ups. These breathtaking views could be the best we ever see. The images were taken 15 minutes after closest approach from an altitude of 17,000 kilometers (10,000 miles) above the surface. The high-resolution photos feature details as small as half a city block.
