Artist’s impression of how the surface of Pluto might look, according to one of the two models that a team of astronomers has developed to account for the observed properties of Pluto’s atmosphere, as studied with CRIRES. The image shows patches of pure methane on the surface. At the distance of Pluto, the Sun appears about 1000 times fainter than on Earth.
Please remember that this is an artist's impression. The light could either be emitted by the sun or another astronomical object nearby. However, you might want to ask this question over at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Astronomy. Regards, Peter Weis (talk) 18:43, 29 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
