New High Definition Pictures Of Pluto Capture The World's Imagination

"These new images give us a breathtaking, super-high resolution window into Pluto’s geology" says New Horizons Principal Investigator Alan Stern, of the Southwest Research Institute.

“Nothing of this quality was available for Venus or Mars until decades after their first flybys; yet at Pluto we’re there already – down among the craters, mountains and ice fields – less than five months after flyby! The science we can do with these images is simply unbelievable."
