New York City residents and tourists visiting Times Square are in for a galactic treat this weekend.
This bustling focal point of the city, often referred to as "The Center of the Universe," will broadcast a little but historically significant piece of the real universe starting Saturday.
The Toshiba Vision Screens atop the One Times Square building will screen the newly revealed images of Pluto captured by NASA's historic New Horizons mission.
The screening will start midnight Saturday, July 18 and last through Saturday, July 25.
They'll feature the best and closest images of Pluto's strangely mountainous and hillocky terrain, which will rotate every five minutes for a week.
The images are from when NASA made history on July 14 by pulling off humankind's closest approach to the distant, icy dwarf planet Pluto. The team unveiled the first of many images of the icy world on July 15.
The high volume of photos and scientific data coupled with slow cable-modem-grade connection speeds means that the best and most detailed images are just beginning to trickle in. They won't stop downlinking for nine months to a year.
So for now, we'll have to do with the handful of images they've released this week. Enjoy!

After using a companion smartphone app to connect the Echo to your WiFi network, you control the Echo almost entirely with your voice. The built-in microphone is always listening for the keyword “Alexa” before you give it a command.
Apple updated its line of iPods this week, but unfortunately you won’t be able to use Apple Music on the two cheaper iPod options, the new 
For example, one app could be programmed to take a picture every time it spots someone it doesn’t recognize or snap a photo of a person it does recognize. 
The lines are there because you'll be able to light Superman up to show off his laser vision. This looks a little terrifying.
Similarly, there will be a Batman figure released that also lights up. It looks like Batman is wearing his suit to go up against Superman here.
Otherwise known as simply Francis, the Ajax is an enforcer for the man responsible for creating Deadpool. Since Deadpool wants revenge on the guy who made him what he is, chances are they'll fight a bunch. Francis/Ajax will be played by Ed Skrein.
Vanessa Carlysle (played by Morena Baccarin) is a huge part of the Deadpool comics as the mutant Copycat. We don't know much about the movie version of the character, other than that she's already involved with Wade before his transformation.
Frank Semyon (Vince Vaughn) is in danger of losing his money and his imagined dynasty — literally the only significant plot beat his wife Jordan (Kelly Reilly) is given involves a brief bit of jealousy over an associate's advances and her infertility, and they're both played for how much this hurts Frank. 
War hero Paul Woodrugh (Taylor Kitsch) is a man of action — he got hooked on adrenaline at war, and now resorts to high-speed motorcycling at night with the lights off to get his kicks in civilian life. This is all super manly stuff — the speed, the danger, the action, the fact that he's played by Taylor freaking Kitsch — but there's a problem. Woodrugh is gay. He hates this about himself, because he wants to be a man — and even gets a woman pregnant and asks her to marry him in order to cover it up, even though he clearly is not into being intimate with her. But he has this clear picture of what he's supposed to be, and he's sticking to it.
Burnout cop Ray Velcoro probably has the most tangible threat to his masculinity — his ex-wife was raped, and the paternity of his son isn't certain. Velcoro hates this, but doesn't want to find out that he's not his son's father. This is probably the clearest plot thread of the bunch, giving us one of the few big moment's of the fifth, most recent episode — Velcoro finds out that his wife's rapist has been apprehended, and that his wife might now know the truth about their son's paternity. (This is also a big moment because it reveals that Frank tipped Ray off to — and had him murder — an innocent man when they first crossed paths years ago.)
Existing as a counterpoint to all this is Ani Bezzerides (Rachel McAdams), who exhibits a litany of traditionally masculine traits: She drinks and gambles hard, doesn't do commitment, is into porn and weird sex, and even balks at smoking her trademark e-cigarette once Ray compares it to oral sex with a robot. "True Detective" seems like it wants to make some kind of point about sexism with her character — she's punished for fraternizing with a male coworker who doesn't even get a slap on the wrist — but also seems blind to its own sexist attitudes, like the way it seems incapable of developing Bezzerides' character in ways that don't relate to her sexuality.
In fact, just about everything wrong with season two is there in season one: The overwrought, pretentious dialogue, the self-serious tone, and the slow pace. Presumably, this is due to the show's only constant: Creator Nic Pizzolatto, who writes every episode. 
But the Flip's diminutive size also means a diminutive 10-inch display, which is about the size of the iPad Air. Such a small screen makes it somewhat difficult to see and use full size websites that are generally designed for larger screens, and I often found myself wishing that I could get the mobile version of websites.
The screen is touch-sensitive, which means you can navigate around with your fingers like a tablet. There's little reason to use the touchscreen when you have a perfectly good trackpad to navigate around the Flip, but as its name suggests, you can flip the screen a full 360 degrees so you can use it more like a tablet.
Sure, you could get an 11-inch MacBook Air, which is also extremely compact, has a bigger screen, has an excellent trackpad, performs much better, and lets you use programs outside of your web browser. But it'll set you back $900.
By using the camera trap's infrared flash during the day (tricking it by blocking the light sensor) researchers were able to take some fantastic images of the leopards' unique spots:
How the infrared light made the spots stand out has to do with the light's wavelength.
The infrared light has a longer wavelength than visible light, under that longer wavelength the less pigmented background coat color, the black, becomes lighter while the more heavily pigmented spots remain dark.
These spot patterns amazingly look like the spots of normal leopards, just hidden in the black of the cat's coat:
And they are just as useful for identifying individual animals: These infrared images let the researchers identify 94% of the individual leopards they caught on camera.
