A close-up view of the rugged, icy mountains and flat ice plains on Pluto is seen in an image from NASA's New Horizons spacecraft. The expanse of the informally named icy plain Sputnik Planum (R) is flanked to the west (L) by rugged mountains up to 11,000 feet (3,500 meters) high. The image was taken from a distance of 11,000 miles (18,000 kilometers) to Pluto. September 16. (Source Reuters/NASA/Sputnik News)
