NASA Releases Clearest Images of Pluto

NASA Releases Clearest Images of Pluto

NASA released black and white photographs of the clearest close-ups of Pluto's surface that we will be able to see for decades. The images were taken by NASA's New Horizons spacecraft. The pictures show craters, mountains and glacial terrain. The images stretch from Pluto's horizon (about 800 kilometers northwest of Sputnik Planum) across the al-ldrisi mountains, over the shoreline of Sputnik and across its icy plains. New Horizons flew by Pluto in July of 2015. 

I think that this is really important, because even though Pluto isn't a planet anymore, we are still researching it and trying to figure out how it works compared to the Earth. I think that it is important to be up to date with our solar system because there is so much out there that we haven't discovered yet. It's very interesting to learn about the new things that they find in outer space.
