NASA's New Horizon mission reveals Pluto's unique geological features

The video explores Pluto's surface, highlighting its icy composition made of methane, nitrogen, carbon monoxide, and water. It describes the heart-shaped Tombaugh Regio, primarily composed of nitrogen ice, and the smooth icy terrain of Sputnik Planum. The presence of craters suggests past geological activity, while towering ice volcanoes like Wright Mons and Piccard Mons interrupt the flat plains. Additionally, Pluto's dark regions are covered by Tholins, formed from atmospheric nitrogen and methane interacting with ultraviolet light.
