Pluto since long has baffled scientists and before July, entire world was unaware of what Pluto actually is. Close flyby made by NASA’s New Horizons helped the entire world to get a closer look at the distant world. It was very difficult for scientists to sequence and separate the different surface features of the dwarf planet, therefore, they created a Pluto which has contrasting colors.

The New Horizons so far has sent images showing the tiny, complex world’s icy plains, mountains, chemical composition and data on its tenuous but complex atmosphere. These new findings by the crafts were revolutionary that changed the previous beliefs about the planet which was thought to be a dead and frozen region of the solar system.

The recently made Pluto looks like an iconic Andy Warhol creation. This new interpretation of Pluto’s famous hemisphere is very important for scientific purpose, said scientists.

The technique scientists used is called ‘principal component analysis’. It is used to see slight changes in surface composition.

The New Horizons’ Ralph/MVIC color camera captured the data on July 14 during its closest approach with the dwarf planet. During this close encounter with Pluto the craft was at a range of 22,000 miles (35,000 kilometers).

The data this week was presented at the Division for Planetary Sciences (DPS) meeting of the American Astronomical Society (AAS) in National Harbor, Md., clearly shows how complex the dwarf world actually is.

The new false-color view of Pluto has splashes of vibrant hues that highlight minor color difference between Pluto’s distinct regions.
