Pluto False Color
New Horizons scientists use enhanced color images to detect differences in the composition and texture of Pluto's surface. When close-up images are combined with color data from the Ralph instrument, it paints a new and surprising portrait of the dwarf planet. However, keeping in mind what Pluto's real colors look like, there's no reason we can't appreciate the blue-red image as well.
"This high-resolution, false color image of Pluto is my favorite. This stunning space wallpaper shows Pluto in color as New Horizons scientists combined four images from the spacecraft Long Range Reconnaissance Imager (LORRI) with color data from the Ralph. NASA's New Horizons Team has released new exaggerated color images from its space probe flyby of Pluto and its moons, highlighting differences between the surface of Pluto and its largest moon.
There Are Snowcapped Mountains on Pluto, And We May Finally Know Why ...
New Horizons scientists use enhanced color images to detect differences in the composition and texture of Pluto's surface. When close-up images are combined with color data from the Ralph instrument, it paints a new and surprising portrait of the dwarf planet. The "heart of the heart," Sputnik Planum, is suggestive of a source region of ices.
Pluto Dazzles in False Colour 24 July 2015 Astronomy Now Image: NASA/JHUAPL/SwRI New Horizons scientists use enhanced colour images to detect differences in the composition and texture of Pluto's surface. When close-up images are combined with colour data from the Ralph instrument, it paints a new and surprising portrait of the dwarf planet. New Horizons scientists made this false color image of Pluto using a technique called principal component analysis to highlight the many subtle color differences between Pluto's distinct regions.
Enhanced False Color Pluto Variant
Pluto: early best guess at color Pluto: early best guess at color This is a best guess image for real color spectrum of Pluto based on two false color images released by July 14, 2015. NASA, JHU-APL, SwRI, ZLDoyle This is a composite based on the P_LORRI_FULLFRAME_COLOR and nh-071315_falsecolorcomposite images released on July 14, 2015. These December 2017 false-color images of KBOs 2012 HZ84 (left) and 2012 HE85 are, for now, the farthest from Earth ever captured by a spacecraft.
They're also the closest-ever images of Kuiper Belt objects. Pluto, New Horizons image - Pluto. False-colour image of the dwarf planet Pluto taken from a distance of 35,000 kilometres.
