Glimpse the surface of an alien world in footage from a Nasa spacecraft landing on Pluto

THIS is what space-colonising humans of the future might see if they ever touch down on Pluto.

Nasa have released an incredible video which makes viewers feel as if they are hurtling straight toward the mysterious planet's slushy ice oceans.

The space agency created the clip using 100 images taken over six weeks by a Nasa spacecraft.

They were taken by New Horizons, which spent almost ten years travelling three billion miles to Pluto's system.

The grand piano-sized probe is currently hurtling even further out to Space to explore beyond the Kuiper Belt.

The stunning clip gives the perspective of landing on the shoreline of Pluto's ice-covered basin dubbed the Sputnik Planitia.

"Just over a year ago, Pluto was a dot in the distance," said New Horizons Principal Investigator Alan Stern, of the Southwest Research Institute, Boulder, Colorado.

"This video shows what it would be like to ride aboard an approaching spacecraft and see Pluto grow to become a world, and then to swoop down over its spectacular terrains as if we were approaching some future landing on them"

"The challenge in creating this movie is to make it feel like you're diving into Pluto," said Constantine Tsang, a New Horizons scientist at SwRI who worked with Stern to create the movie.

"We had to interpolate some of the frames based on we know Pluto looks like to make it as smooth and seamless as possible. It's certainly fun to see this and think what it would feel like to approach a landing on Pluto."

Thanks to Pluto, scientists may be closer than ever to discovering pluto.

New Horizons was launched in 2006.

It spent three months observing the surface of the planet before drifting off into the Kuiper belt and beyond.

While the NASA and MIT scientists have not ventured far enough to propose alien existence, it is widely held that water is an essential ingredient in forming life.
