Ever wondered how a ride towards the last planet of the solar system would be like? A stunning video from NASA released on Thursday will give viewers a trip down to Pluto's surface.

The imagined landing video for Pluto was made by putting together 100 still images captured by NASA's New Horizons spacecraft. They were taken during six weeks while the probe approached Pluto as well as from the close flyby in summer 2015.

NASA first released the video in a black-and-white version last year; but the recent footage showed some color, giving viewers a more realistic experience. According to CNET, scientists had to mix the color information of the images, obtained from the Ralph color camera installed on the New Horizons spacecraft, with the higher-resolution black-and-white photos.

"To create a movie that makes viewers feel as if they're diving into Pluto, mission scientists had to interpolate some of the panchromatic (black and white) frames based on what they know Pluto looks like to make it as smooth and seamless as possible," according to NASA's website.

The video started with a distant view of the planet and Charon, the largest of its five moons, and ended up landing on the shoreline of Pluto, informally called Sputnik Planitia.

New Horizons, which was launched in 2006, flew for more than 9 years and 3 billion miles to reach Pluto and its satellites. It made its closest encounter with the dwarf planet on July 14, 2015, giving scientists a chance to examine its fine details.

Meanwhile, New Horizons is currently heading deeper into space to conduct studies on the 2014 MU69, a small object in the Kuiper Belt, which is an area of the solar system that goes beyond the orbit of Neptune. The probe is expected to fly past the object on Jan. 1, 2019.
