Explanation:
These two detailed, true color images of Pluto were
captured during the historic New Horizons flyby last month.
With slightly different perspectives on the now recognizeable
surface features
they are presented in this first high quality
stereo
pair intended for viewing by denizens of planet Earth.
The left hand image
(left eye) is a mosaic recorded when
the spacecraft was about 450,000 kilometers from Pluto.
The right single image
was acquired earlier, a last full look before the
spacecraft's closest approach.
Despite a difference in resolution, the pair combine for
a stunning 3D perception of the distant,
underworldly
terrain.
