Just 15 minutes after its closest approach to Pluto on July 14, 2015, NASA's New Horizons spacecraft looked back toward the sun and captured a near-sunset view of the rugged, icy mountains and flat ice plains extending to Pluto's horizon. The smooth expanse of Sputnik Planitia (right) is flanked to the west (left) by rugged mountains up to 11,000 feet (3,500 meters) high, including the Tenzing Montes in the foreground and Hillary Montes on the skyline. The backlighting highlights more than a dozen layers of haze in Pluto's tenuous but distended atmosphere. The image was taken from a distance of 11,000 miles (18,000 kilometers) to Pluto; the scene is 230 miles (380 kilometers) across.

The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland, designed, built, and operates the New Horizons spacecraft, and manages the mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate. The Southwest Research Institute, based in San Antonio, leads the science team, payload operations and encounter science planning. New Horizons is part of the New Frontiers Program managed by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama.


Русский: 14 июля 2015 года, спустя всего 15 минут c момента своего ближайшего подлёта к Плутону, космический корабль «Новые горизонты» (NASA) обернулся на Cолнце и запечатлел панорамный вид на ледяные горы и плоские ледяные равнины, простирающиеся до горизонта планетоида. Гладкое пространство (справа), которое в последствии было названо «Равнина Спутника», соседствует с высокими горами высотой до 3500 метров, расположенными на западе (слева). Горам были предложены названия «Норгей» (гора на переднем плане) и «Хиллари» (гора на горизонте). Подсветка выделяет более дюжины слоев дымки в слабой, но растянутой атмосфере Плутона. Снимок был сделан с расстояния 18 000 километров от планетоида; сцена имеет 380 километров в поперечнике. Космический корабль «Новые горизонты» спроектировала, построила и эксплуатирует Лаборатория прикладной физики Университета Джона Хопкинса в Лорел, штат Мэриленд. Также она осуществляет работу в Управлении научных миссий НАСА. Возглавляет научную команду, осуществляет операции с полезной нагрузкой и занимается научным планированием Юго-западный научно-исследовательский институт, базирующийся в Сан-Антонио. «Новые горизонты» являются частью программы «Новые рубежи», управляемой Центром космических полетов им. Маршалла (НАСА) в Хантсвилле, штат Алабама.
