Close-up image of Pluto

Close-up image of Pluto.

명왕성의 근접 사진.

The close-up image was taken about 1.5 hours before New Horizons closest approach to Pluto, when the craft was 77,000 kilometers from the surface of the planet. The image easily resolves structures smaller than 1.6 km across.

A new close-up image of an equatorial region near the base of Pluto’s bright heart-shaped feature shows a mountain range with peaks jutting as high as 11,000 feet (3,500 meters) above the surface of the icy body.

명왕성의 근접 사진.

이 사진은 뉴 허라이즌스 호가 명왕성으로부터 약 77,000 km 떨어진 거리에서 최접근 1.5시간 전에 촬영한 사진입니다. 이 사진에서 직경이 1.6 km 크기보다 작은 구조들도 쉽게 분해할 수 있습니다.
