Pluto in True Color

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

Pluto is mostly brown, as seen in this true-color image. No spacecraft has visited it yet, so this map was made by observing brightness changes from Earth. These changes happened when Pluto was partially eclipsed by its moon, Charon. The brown color is thought to be from frozen methane deposits on its surface.
