The image combines blue, red and infrared images taken by the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Horizons#Ralph_telescope" class="extiw" title="en:New Horizons">Ralph/Multispectral Visual Imaging Camera</a> (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). The viewer is encouraged to zoom in on the image on a larger screen to fully appreciate the complexity of Pluto’s surface features. <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.nasa.gov/image-feature/the-rich-color-variations-of-pluto">caption link</a><br>The story of the processing of the image is given <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.planetary.org/blogs/emily-lakdawalla/2015/09241425-lose-yourself-in-this-pluto.html">here</a>.<br> Note: feature names given in annotations are provisional. |
