Not long ago, NASA released a beautiful photograph of Pluto.

Quoted from the NASA site, Friday (13/11/2015), scientists New Horizons Pluto has changed color photographs with a technique called "principal component analysis". This technique is used to clarify a lot of subtle color differences between different areas on Pluto.

Data picture "Psychedelic Side" is derived from the color cameras spacecraft Ralph / MVIC on July 14 at 11:11 UTC from a distance of 22 thousand miles (35 thousand kilometers) from Pluto.

This picture was presented Will Grundy of the surface composition of the New Horizons team on 9 November at a meeting of the Division of Planetary Sciences (DPS) of the American Astronomical Society (AAS) in National Harbor, Maryland.

Until now, New Horizons still roam in the Kuiper Belt, and continue sending data available to scientists on Earth. Need 16 months for the spacecraft to send back thousands of images and measurements made during their run through Pluto.
