#OTD in 2015, scientists discovered a heart on Pluto. ❤️ Early on July 8, 2015, mission scientists received this view of Pluto. Taken on July 7, when New Horizons was just under 5 million miles from Pluto, the image was the first to be received since an anomaly on July 4 sent the spacecraft into safe mode. The image offered the best view yet of Pluto’s heart –the large bright area measuring some 1,200 miles across –which came to be officially named TombaughRegio.
