Four images from New Horizons’
Long Range Reconnaissance Imager (LORRI) were combined with color data from the
Ralph instrument to create this global view of
Pluto. (The lower right edge of Pluto in this view currently lacks high-resolution color coverage.) The images, taken when the spacecraft was 280,000 miles (450,000 kilometers) away, show features as small as 1.4 miles (2.2 kilometers), twice the resolution of the single-image view taken on July 13 [2015].
UPLOADER NOTES:
The north polar region is at top, with bright
Tombaugh Regio to the lower right of center and part of the dark
Cthulhu Regio at lower left. Part of the dark
Krun Regio is also visible at extreme lower right.
The
original NASA image has been modified by doubling the linear pixel density and cropping.
This is a retouched picture, which means that it has been digitally altered from its original version. Modifications: Removing a very dark gray background, a little crop, better saturation and a little contrast using Photoshop. The original can be viewed here: Nh-pluto-in-true-color 2x JPEG.jpg: . Modifications made by
PlanetUser.
The NASA website hosts a large number of images from the
Soviet/
Russian space agency, and other non-American space agencies. These are not necessarily in the public domain.
