In these photos you may notice black spots on Pluto, whose origin is still unknown to science. If Ceres found white spots, whose origin is still a mystery and, then Pluto black spots (plus black areas are quite large in size).

The answer may be obtained by further approach New Horizons to Pluto. "It's a real mystery - we do not know what are the spots, and we can not wait to find out when it is" - commented Alan Stern, a leading expert of the project.
In addition, interesting details are shown in other areas of Pluto - so here are seen and light areas, interspersed with dark, it is already noticeable in the right picture. Several photos show Pluto's north pole, the equator, and the meridian.
