  • Explore Pluto in augmented reality 
    Unknown author (Lunar and Planetary Institute, 2017)
    Experience Pluto and its largest moon, Charon, in immersive augmented reality. Step onto Pluto's surface and take in the spectacular views of the al-Idrisi mountains and Elliot crater.
  • Geological Mapping of Pluto and Charon using New Horizons data 
    Moore, J. (Jeff); Spencer, John R. (John Robert), 1957-; McKinnon, William B.; Howard, Alan D.; White, Oliver L.; Umurhan, Orkan M., 1969-; Schenk, Paul M.; Beyer, Ross A.; Singer, Kelsi N.; Stern, Alan, 1957-; Weaver, Harold A., 1953-; Young, Leslie A.; Smith, K. Ennico; Olkin, Cathy B.; New Horizons Geology and Geophysics Imaging Team (ISPRS, 2016)
    Pluto and Charon exhibit strikingly different surface appearances, despite their similar densities and presumed bulk compositions. Systematic mapping has revealed that much of Pluto's surface can be attributed to ...
  • Tectonism and enhanced cryovolcanic potential around a loaded Sputnik Planitia basin, Pluto 
    McGovern, Patrick J. (Geophysicist); White, Oliver L.; Schenk, Paul M. (AGU, 2021-11-25)
    The bright Sputnik Planitia region on Pluto is a vast plain consisting of a deposit of frozen nitrogen that fills a broad depressed area. The depression is probably the result of a large object colliding with Pluto; such ...
  • Top 5 elements on Pluto : (bulk composition) 
    Howett, Carly J. A.; Shaner, Andrew; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7343-9343; Webb, Sha'Rell; Portillo, Kevin (Lunar and Planetary Institute, 2019)
    The front of the graphic includes a picture of the planet, a histogram showing the abundance of the Top 5 elements at that planet, and an outline of the Periodic Table highlighting the location of those elements on the ...
  • Topographic mapping of Pluto and Charon using New Horizons data 
    Schenk, Paul M.; Beyer, Ross A.; Moore, J. (Jeff); Spencer, John R. (John Robert), 1957-; McKinnon, William B.; Howard, Alan D.; White, Oliver L.; Umurhan, Orkan M., 1969-; Singer, Kelsi N.; Stern, Alan, 1957-; Weaver, Harold A., 1953-; Young, Leslie A.; Smith, K. Ennico; Olkin, Cathy B.; New Horizons Geology and Geophysics Imaging Team (ISPRS, 2016)
    New Horizons 2015 flyby of the Pluto system has resulted in high-resolution topographic maps of Pluto and Charon, the most distant objects so mapped. DEM's over ~30% of each object were produced at 100-300 m vertical and ...
