NASA has released video of Pluto, taken as its 'New Horizons' spacecraft approached the dwarf planet.

The video is made up of more than 100 high resolution images, taken over six months as the spacecraft approached the dwarf planet, flying by in July, 2015.

It took New Horizons nearly 10 years to cover the three billion miles to Pluto.

Whilst it appears to look like a landing, the spacecraft just flew above the surface of the dwarf planet and is continuing its mission of exploration.
