Pluto



The very top image is a blink of two images showing Pluto's movement. The two images where taken over a two night span at roughly the same time thus allowing for a 24 hour time frame which allows us to see the movement. The bottom image shows the area in which you should look, for those that have a hard time finding the moving Pluto in the top image.
