New high resolution images of Pluto are starting to arrive from the outer Solar System. The robotic New Horizons spacecraft, which zoomed by Pluto in July, has finished sending back some needed engineering data and is now transmitting selections from its tremendous storehouse of images of Pluto and its moons. The featured image, a digital composite, details a surprising terrain filled with craters, plains, landscape of unknown character, and landforms that resemble something on Earth but are quite unexpected on Pluto. The light area sprawling across the upper right has been dubbed Sputnik Planum and is being studied for its unusual smoothness, while the dark cratered area just under the spacecraft is known as Cthulhu Regio. So far, New Horizons has only shared a few percent of the images and data it took during its Pluto flyby, but will continue to send back new views of the dwarf planet even as it glides outward toward even more distant explorations.

🚀 新的高解析度冥王星圖片正逐漸從外太空送回來！來自機器人太空船 New Horizons 的最新數據顯示，這艘太空船在七月掠過冥王星後，已經完成了一些必要的工程數據傳輸，現在正傳送大量關於冥王星及其衛星的驚人影像。
🔍 最新的數據中，一幅數位合成圖像展示了令人驚訝的地形，滿佈著隕石坑、平原和一些在冥王星上意想不到的地貌，這些地貌看起來竟然類似地球的地形！右上方的亮區域被稱為 Sputnik Planum，因其異常的光滑度而受到研究，而位於太空船下方的暗色隕石坑區域則被稱為 Cthulhu Regio。
📷 迄今為止，New Horizons 只分享了幾個百分比的影像和數據，但它將繼續向我們傳送冥王星的新視角，同時向更遙遠的探索前進。
