Washington, July 29: NASA unveiled the first close up images of Icy Mountains at Pluto’s surface after the successful flyby of New Horizons Pluto probe.

As a mystery, after 85 years Icy Mountains ranges can be seen rising from Pluto’s surface. Twenty four hours after the successful flyby of Pluto, NASA’s New Horizons has reached another milestone by unveiling the first close-up images of icy mountains on the Pluto surface.

During a historic flyby, NASA’s New Horizons unveiled the first close-up photos of Pluto and two of its moon Charon and other several discoveries announced by NASA on Wednesday.

NASA revealed one photo of icy mountains at Pluto surface which are ranging 11,000 feet and as per US space agency those are high as the Rocky Mountains. The mountains on the surface of planet are likely formed more than 100 million years ago and this is one of the youngest surfaces in the solar system.

New Horizons also revealed another image as an evidence of recent geological activity on Pluto’s largest moon Charon as having its own belt of troughs and cliffs that extend about 600 miles across the surface as well as a canyon that is four to six miles deep. The new view of Charon reveals a youthful and varied land. Horizons are also revealed the first look at Hydra one of Pluto’s four smaller satellites.
