It showed a high-resolution global view highlighting Pluto’s brilliant, light-colored, heart-shaped region, informally named Tombaugh Regio in honor of Pluto's discoverer Clyde Tombaugh. The western lobe of the "heart" is rich in nitrogen, carbon monoxide, and methane ices, revealing unexpected surface diversity and geologic activity. https://cf-images.assettype.com/downtoearth/2026-08-26/ok1vaa4a/PIA19717.jpg Portrait of Pluto and its binary companion Charon, composed from two images taken by NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft in July 2015. Charon is the largest of Pluto’s five moons and, at half Pluto’s size, is the largest known satellite relative to its parent body. Pluto and Charon are mutually tidally locked, meaning the same hemispheres of both bodies always face each other. Charon orbits Pluto every 6.4 Earth days. https://cf-images.assettype.com/downtoearth/2026-08-26/cd2648bj/PIA19948.jpg A twilight glow across pluto’s atmosphere.

The backlit view revealed Pluto’s haze-rich nitrogen atmosphere and distinct thermal layers, providing key data on atmospheric pressure and the interaction of methane and nitrogen under solar ultraviolet light. https://cf-images.assettype.com/downtoearth/2026-08-26/y5kih6nx/PIA03034.jpg This image was taken on October 21, 2003, and later used in the discovery of Eris, formerly known as 2003 UB313 or Xena, announced on January 5, 2005.
