Description

English: This map of Pluto was made from over 22 eclipse observations spanning 1985 to 1990. The brighter areas on Pluto (like the south polar region or the bright spot in the upper right quadrant) are mainly nitrogen frost. Most of Pluto has a red-brown tint, possibly the result of photochemically produced hydrocarbons (think condensed smog!) that are mixed in with the frost.
