The team associated with NASA's New Horizons mission has put together images sent back home by the spacecraft. The images are providing a stunning high-resolution view which looks like to barrel through the Kuiper Belt.

The American space agency NASA's probe New Horizons made a history after it made the closest flyby of the dwarf planet Pluto and its system of moons during a hair-raising encounter on July 14. The craft, during the flyby, came within 7,800 miles of the dwarf planet's surface, said NASA.

The video shows the historic event and the ring of scattered sunlight as Pluto blocks the sun from view as a stunning eclipse.

Stuart Robbins, scientists behind creation of the video, at the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, Colo., said in a statement that in order to make the animation more cinematically appealing, he had to tweak the timescale between frames.

"The final product goes from one second of movie time equaling 30 hours at the beginning and end, to one second of movie time equaling 30 minutes for the closest-approach section", wrote Robbins in a blog post.

He said that the approach to Pluto occurred over a long period, whereas the point of close approach was gone in a flash, therefore, he hit the slow-mo button when New Horizons buzzed the dwarf plant's surface. Later, he sped up the footage when the spacecraft was far away.

Since the historic flyby, the mission team has not released any image of Pluto or its moons. The spacecraft is currently taking its time downlinking lower data-rate information collected by the energetic particle, solar wind and space dust instruments, as per the mission team's statement on the New Horizons website.
