Fine Art Prints From Science Photo Library
Hubble Space Telescope image of Pluto
Pluto. Computer-processed image of Pluto, the smallest and outermost planet in the solar system. This image is derived from an observation made using the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), and was processed to bring out the brightness differences on the surface. Twelve bright regions have been identified on the planet, including a large north polar cap. It is thought that the surface of Pluto is largely nitrogen ice, with methane and carbon monoxide ices as impurities. In size and surface composition, Pluto is similar to Triton, a moon of Neptune. No spacecraft has yet visited Pluto

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of Pluto, the smallest and outermost planet in our solar system. Captured by the renowned Hubble Space Telescope (HST), this computer-processed image unveils intricate details on Pluto's surface that were previously unseen. The image has been meticulously enhanced to highlight the varying brightness across the planet. Upon closer examination, twelve distinct bright regions can be identified, including a remarkable north polar cap. Scientists believe that nitrogen ice dominates Pluto's surface composition, accompanied by traces of methane and carbon monoxide ices as impurities. Interestingly, these characteristics make Pluto remarkably similar to Triton, one of Neptune's moons. It is worth noting that no spacecraft has yet ventured to explore this enigmatic dwarf planet up close. However, thanks to groundbreaking observations like this one from HST, we continue to deepen our understanding of distant celestial bodies such as Pluto. This awe-inspiring photograph serves as a testament to humanity's insatiable curiosity about the cosmos and our relentless pursuit of knowledge in astronomy and planetary science. It stands as a reminder of both the vastness and intricacy present within our universe – an eternal source of inspiration for scientists and stargazers alike.
