^That's from a batch of photos NASA recently posted of the dramatically backlit surface of Pluto, taken by the New Horizons probe. You can see there 11,000-foot-high mountains, and layers of hazes in the dwarf planet's "tenuous but distended" atmosphere. Other photos appear to show "hints of a nitrogen-based glacial cycle."
