UKAstroNut's video: New Horizons - Welcome to Pluto

The New Horizons mission has finally arrived at Pluto after 9 years of travelling through our Solar System. Before now, the only pictures we had on Pluto were blurry blobs. But not, we are getting some incredible images in, where we can make out craters, valleys and ice caps on the surface. So, let's see what New Horizons has found so far!
