[00:00:00]What you're seeing right now are probably the last close-up images humanity will see of Pluto [music] for decades. In 2015, NASA's New Horizons spacecraft flew past Pluto after traveling for 9 years through deep space, [music] and what it found shocked scientists. Gigantic ice mountains taller than the Rockies, frozen nitrogen glaciers, and a mysterious heart-shaped region stretching across Pluto's surface. But that wasn't the craziest part. After Pluto, New Horizons kept going [music] farther than any spacecraft exploring planets before it until it reached a tiny object called Arrokoth, the most distant world ever visited by humans.

[00:00:41]Arrokoth looks like two space rocks [music] gently fused together.

[00:00:45]Basically, a frozen time capsule from the birth of our solar system over 4 billion years ago. And here's the terrifying part. Because these worlds are so far away, we may not see images this detailed again in our lifetime.

[00:01:00]Humanity traveled billions of miles for just a few hours of flyby footage. If space blows your mind, [music] hit like and subscribe for more insane cosmic discoveries.
