NEW YORK: Newly released images taken by NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft show a second range of mountains in Pluto’s heart-shaped, bright region, named Tombaugh Regio, or Tombaugh Region, after Pluto’s discoverer, Clyde Tombaugh.
The peaks are estimated to be one-half mile to one mile high, roughly the same height as the Appalachian Mountains in the United States. The first close-up images of Pluto turned up mountains towering about 2 miles above the surface. The second group of mountains is about 65 miles northwest of the previously discovered range and situated between bright, icy plains and a dark heavily cratered region.
