After 9 years… and 3 BILLION miles… this is what we found 😳
For decades, Pluto was just a blurry dot in the sky.
But everything changed when NASA’s spacecraft finally arrived…
🚀 After an incredible journey across the Solar System,
we got our first close-up look at Pluto’s frozen world ❄️
🏔️ Massive ice mountains
🌌 Vast frozen plains
🌫️ A thin, mysterious atmosphere
This isn’t just a rock…
it’s a complex, active world at the edge of our Solar System.
✨ And the craziest part?
This data was sent back from billions of miles away…
taking hours just to reach Earth.
From a tiny dot… to a breathtaking world.
That’s the power of space exploration 🚀

Гора Кайлас
Высота 6638 метров. Никто так и не смог её покорить.
На рассвете и закате сияет золотом. Грани ориентированы по сторонам света. Сильное в духовном плане место. Как Миусская дюна для москвичей.
@Anfisa15462606 Такие жертвы со стороны СССР только из-за руководства СССР. Почитай битву за Днепр , когда генералы решили освободить к празднику Октябрьской революцией .Можно было позже и потерь меньше было...
This Is Night On Mars. 140 million miles away. No cities, no light pollution, no one.
Just you and a billion stars that have never been looked at like this.
How Japanese have produced wood for 700 years, without cutting down trees.
Daisugi is an ancient Japanese forestry technique developed in the 14th century originally used by people living in the Kitayama region, because the territory was extremely poor in saplings.
They planted cedars pruned in a special way to produce shoots that eventually would become perfect, straight, knot-free lumbers.
The shoots are gently pruned by hand every two years leaving only the top boughs, allowing them to grow straight. Harvesting takes 20 years and old 'tree stock' can grow up to a hundred shoots at a time.
There was actually another reason why the technique was developed: fashion. In the 14th century, a linear, stylized form of architecture known as sukiya-zukuri (数寄屋造り) became popular, and every prominent samurai or nobleman wanted a house built in this way.
There were simply not enough raw materials available to keep up with demand, so daisugi was developed to produce more wood in a shorter time.
The wood produced with this technique has also impressive qualities: it's 140% more flexible than standard cedar and 200% denser and stronger. And, it's extremely durable.
