New Horizons map of the surface of the dwarf planet Pluto. At centre is the bright heart-shaped feature informally named Tombaugh Regio,which measures approximately 1,600 kilometres across. Its interior appears featureless,suggesting it is the sight of ongoing geological processes. New Horizons has spent nine and a half years travelling the nearly five billion kilometres to Pluto.
