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. 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.
Pluto's Craters from New Horizons
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. The image data were collected by the spacecraft's Ralph/MVIC color camera on July 14 at 11:11 AM UTC, from a range of 22,000 miles (35,000 kilometers). This image was presented by Will Grundy of the.

The "heart of the heart," Sputnik Planum, is suggestive of a source region of ices.
Pluto's Got a Heart! Sure, It's an Icy Plain of Nitrogen, But Still ...
This July 13, 2015, image of Pluto and Charon is presented in false colors to make differences in surface material and features easy to see. It was obtained by the Ralph instrument on NASA's New Horizons spacecraft, using three filters to obtain color information, which is exaggerated in the image. Image Caption: Pluto and Charon in False Color Show Compositional Diversity This July 13, 2015, image of Pluto and Charon is presented in false colors to make differences in surface material and.

Enhanced False Color Pluto Variant
Here's another amazing, rainbow-hued false-color image, this time of the moon, to help you see the differences in terrain better. Bottom line: Take a look at Pluto in this rich false.
