NASA Images of Pluto

NASA posted a lengthy tweet with the multicoloured image of Pluto that began, "The rainbow's end is where? This translated colour image of Pluto was produced by New Horizons scientists to draw attention to the numerous minute colour variations between the various regions of the planet, which are not present."

Pluto's surface is complex and varied, with jumbled mountains resembling those on Europa, networks of carved-out valleys, older, deeply cratered terrain next to more recent, smooth, frozen plains, and even what appear to be wind-blown dunes, according to a NASA report.
