"Among the structures tentatively identified in this new image are what appear to be polygonal features, a complex band of terrain stretching east-northeast across the planet, approximately 1,000 miles long and a complex region where bright terrains meet the dark terrains of the whale," principal investigator Alan Stern said in a NASA web post. "After nine-and-a-half years in flight, Pluto is well worth the wait."
The image has a resolution of 17 miles per pixel and shows the hemisphere of Pluto that always faces Charon, Pluto's Texas-size moon.
