Pluto is more colorful than we can see. Color data and images of our Solar System’s most famous dwarf planet, taken by the robotic New Horizons spacecraft during its flyby in July, have been digitally combined to give an enhanced view of this ancient world sporting an unexpectedly young surface. The featured enhanced color image is not only esthetically pretty but scientifically useful, making surface regions of differing chemical composition visually distinct. For example, the light-colored heart-shaped Tombaugh Regio on the lower right is clearly shown here to be divisible into two regions that are geologically different, with the leftmost lobe Sputnik Planum also appearing unusually smooth. New Horizons now continues on beyond Pluto, will continue to beam back more images and data, and will soon be directed to change course so that it can fly past asteroid 2014 MU69 in 2019 January.

🌌【冥王星的色彩之美】🪐
冥王星比我們想像中更具色彩。機械探測器新地平線（New Horizons）於7月進行的飛掠，捕捉了這個古老世界的數據和圖像，這些數據經過數位合成，展現了其意想不到的年輕表面。這幅增強色彩圖像不僅美觀，還具有科學價值，讓不同化學組成的表面區域清晰可見。例如，右下角的心形區域——湯博哈區（Tombaugh Regio）明顯可以細分為兩個地質上不同的區域，其中左側的Sputnik平原也顯得異常光滑。新地平線探測器現已繼續向冥王星之外飛行，並將持續回傳更多圖像和數據，並計劃在2019年1月轉向，以飛越小行星2014 MU69。
