Original – The terrain and atmosphere of the dwarf planet Pluto, as imaged by NASA's New Horizons space probe 15 minutes after closest approach on July 14, 2015.

Reason

Iconic, unique photo of Pluto taken by the New Horizons probe in 2015. It's just under 1500px on the short axis, but I tracked down NASA's official version and that does seem to be the resolution it was imaged at. Already a featured picture on the Indonesian language Wikipedia.

• Support - Excellent quality and EV, size is reasonable given the distance it took to reach here. I was pleased to see that the article details the layers of haze - that's enough for a blurb on its own. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 22:09, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
