IMAGE number
PIX4582252
Image title
Pluto seen by the probe New Horizons - Pluto seen by New Horizons: View of the Norgay Montes and Hillary Montes mountains, young 3500 metres high; on the right, east of the Sputnik Plannum plain. Image taken by the New Horizons probe on July 14, 2015 at a distance of 18,000 km from the dwarf planet. Just 15 minutes after its closest approach to Pluto on July 14, 2015, Nasa's New Horizons spacecraft looked back towards the sun and captured this near-sunset view of the rugged, icy mountains and flat ice plains extending to Pluto's horizon. The smooth expanse of the informally named icy plain Sputnik Planum (right) is flanked to the west (left) by rugged mountains up to 11,000 feet (3,500 meters) high, including the informally named Norgay Montes in the foreground and Hillary Montes on the skyline. To the right, east of Sputnik, rougher terrain is cut by apparent glaciers. The backlighting highlights more than a dozen layers of haze in Pluto's tenuous but distended atmosphere. The image was taken from a distance of 11,000 miles (18,000 kilometers) to Pluto; the scene is 780 miles (1,250 kilometers) wide
