NASA released an image taken by its New Horizons spacecraft showing the North Pole area of Pluto.

Taken from a height of 21,100 miles, the image, which was enhanced for color and released on Feb. 26, shows that Pluto’s North Pole contains long canyons, the widest being 45 miles wide (marked in yellow in the photo below).
