💜 I vaguely remember artists' renditions of Pluto but not like actual images for the longest time, the New Horizons photos that were sent back has been with us for almost a decade now and it IS crazy to think that those images were relatively recent, with camera tech not from the 70s (although they were still impressive and stunning!)
Seeing the blurry render reminded me how ridiculously far away pluto is, let alone the next nearest star. Space is so damn big, aint it?
