New Images of pluto · 10:49pm Jul 14th, 2015
The New Horizons 2006 probe is now nearing it's flyby of Pluto. So far, there are some pretty cool new images of Pluto popping up, and people are just now naming the cool geologic features. It should start transmitting back much more high resolution photos after a close fly by, I think in a day or a few days.
Here, you can see Pluto's heart.
Here's a false color image showing that the heart is made up of two differen't materials. I wouldn't call it a 'broken heart' like the website does though. In fact, I think that two different geological events came together to make a heart shape is quite heartening.
There's also another dark region that scientists have nicknamed 'The Whale'. And because Pluto is named after the god of the underworld, some are thinking of naming the mysterious land 'Cthulu'.
This looks much more Cthuluy though. I think it's the same feature.
It's also possible that the heart shape looks more like Pluto the dog. (I prefer the heart.)
