While we all know that the universe holds myriads of hidden secrets in his arms and the people of earth are embedded with smart brains consistently are trying hard to unveil the tweak one by one. Scientist thinking ability is just transcended and they can reveal the hidden secrets from the distant. New high-resolution images downloaded from NASA's New Horizon probe over 5 billion kilometers away shows amazing variations on the surface of the planet like mountains, deep networks of valleys, nitrogen ice flows which has stunned the scientists and they believe that could find out more about it.

"This is what we came for — these images, spectra and other data types that are going to help us understand the origin and the evolution of the Pluto system for the first time," said New Horizons principal investigator Alan Stern, of the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) in Colorado.

"And what's coming is not just the remaining 95 percent of the data that's still aboard the spacecraft — it's the best datasets, the highest-resolution images and spectra, the most important atmospheric datasets, and more. It's a treasure trove. Pluto is showing us a diversity of landforms and complexity of processes that rival anything we've seen in the solar system.”

"If an artist had painted this Pluto before our flyby, I probably would have called it over the top — but that's what is actually there." Scientists have got the urged to reveal more about the planet and avail more information, they have indicated that the air would be thick in Pluto because only thicker air can form formations.

"Seeing dunes on Pluto — if that is what they are — would be completely wild because Pluto's atmosphere today is so thin," said William B McKinnon, a GGI deputy lead from Washington University. Either Pluto had a thicker atmosphere in the past, or some process we haven't figured out is at work. It's a head-scratcher." The images have more than doubled the amount of Pluto's surface, seen at resolutions as good as 400 metres per pixel.

"Now we can study geology in terrain that we never expected to see. This bonus twilight view is a wonderful gift that Pluto has handed to us," said John Spencer, a GGI deputy lead from SwRI.
