This is the most clearest picture of Pluto ever taken! It was captured recently by the New Horizons planetary probe using itd Ralph imaging instrument. The surface of the dwarf planet is a cool -400 degrees. From this angle it looks like Europa, one of the moons of Jupiter. The red could be copper, the blue could be copper sulphate or cobalt. We will find out more as we explore this dwarf planet on the farthest side of our Solar System even further over the next decade or so.
