NASA has released a number of stunning colour photographs of the planet Pluto. The pictures have been compiled from four images from the New Horizons’ Long Range Reconnaissance Imager mixed with color data from the Ralph instrument. The new pictures indicate that Pluto is covered by masses of flowing ice.

The Australian Space Academy states that, “distance communications are carried by electromagnetic radiation – commonly by radio waves, but increasingly by light. The speed of propagation of these carriers is about 300,000 kilometres per second – the speed of light (and all other electromagnetic radiation). While this is an incredibly high-speed, it already causes problems in some of our day-to-day communication, and as we begin to contemplate interplanetary travel, we find that the finite or limited speed of light imposes serious limitations on our activities.”
