A Polar Ice Cap?

On April 29, NASA released a series of images showing broad areas of light and dark surface features on Pluto. A bright patch near the north pole was described as “suspiciously suggestive of a polar cap.” These images have been stabilized so Pluto remains centered, with a line showing the orientation of the planet’s north pole. In reality, the gravity of the large moon Charon makes Pluto wobble.

Light Painting Evolved: Introducing the Pixelstick
