* A Closer Look at Pluto
This amazing image of
pluto (click for high-res) was taken just 15 minutes after its closest approach to Pluto on July 14, 2015, when NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft looked back toward the sun and captured this near-sunset view of the rugged, icy mountains and flat ice plains extending to Pluto’s horizon.

* Supermoon Lunar Eclipse this weekend
No doubt you'll see some articles about the Supermoon Lunar Eclipse this weekend.
Unfortunately it's not visible in Australia or New Zealand.
The lunar eclipse will be visible in North and South America, Europe, Africa, western Asia, and the eastern Pacific Ocean region. It's also a 'Supermoon', meaning the Full Moon occurs at Perigee, the closest point to Earth during its orbit. A Perigee Full Moon (or Supermoon) can appear about 14 percent bigger and 30 percent brighter in the sky than an Apogee (furthest point in the orbit) full moon.
