New Photos from Pluto
NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft sends new images from Pluto. These images show the icy surface of the planet.
John Grunsfeld from NASA’s Science Mission Directorate says: “These close-up images, showing the diversity of terrain on Pluto, demonstrate the power of our robotic planetary explorers to return intriguing data to scientists back here on planet Earth.”

You can visit the following New Horizons Image Gallery of NASA that contains most of the images from the planet.
