Techno live – In January 2006, the National Aeronautics and Space Agency interplanetary space probe (NASA), New horizons launched.
Then, in 2015, the spacecraft was the first to visit it Pluto and explore the Kuiper Belt Orbit (KBO).
KBO, originally called Ultima Thule, is a disk-shaped region extending to the outer solar system, as quoted by the Sputniknews website on Tuesday, Nov. 29, 2022.
NASA has shared this stunning image of the dwarf planet Pluto, taken by the New Horizons spacecraft. According to the US agency, the photo was taken at a distance of 22,025 miles (35,445 km) from Pluto.
“This image shows Pluto’s true colors, including the dwarf planet’s ‘heart’ — glaciers the size of Texas and Oklahoma made of nitrogen and methane,” the space agency said.
Earlier, NASA also released another photo of the “decoded color image” of Pluto, also taken by New Horizons.
