Reported by Engadget, in this image of the dwarf planet looks like a heart or heart-shaped, and there are fragments of ice fields. It can be concluded that the shape of heart / heart that is known as a dwarf planet Tombaugh Regio was clearly displayed.
NASA explains, the images taken by the probe Long Range Reconnaissance Imager (Lorri) and is taken from a distance of 9,550 miles from the surface.
As shown, the heart of Pluto are scarred with holes that New Horizons scientists believe is most likely to have formed as a combination of crushed ice and evaporation.
This hole appears to follow a pattern, and the NASA team believes that the appearance of this image could provide clues about the flow of ice on the planet and exchanges between surface and atmospheric nitrogen.
For your information, the New Horizons spacecraft is an unmanned NASA specifically designed to explore the outer space for many years and passed Pluto, the moon, as well as satellite.
New Horizons along with sensitive cameras and scientific instruments that was hibernating for protection and is expected to send photographs of Pluto and satellites from close range.
