50 Photos Of Things Your Rarely Get To See

There’s all sorts of weird and unique things out there in the world we rarely, if ever, get to see. Some may be so small they require a microscope to see, while may appear and disappear so quickly, you’d be lucky to even catch a glimpse. Lucky for us, some people actually managed to capture some of these rare things and occurrences, and share them with the world.

NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft captured this high-resolution enhanced color view of Pluto on July 14, 2015. The image combines blue, red and infrared images taken by the Ralph/Multispectral Visual Imaging Camera (MVIC). Pluto’s surface sports a remarkable range of subtle colors, enhanced in this view to a rainbow of pale blues, yellows, oranges, and deep reds. Many landforms have their own distinct colors, telling a complex geological and climatological story that scientists have only just begun to decode. The image resolves details and colors on scales as small as 0.8 miles (1.3 kilometers).
