Approaching Pluto
Here comes Pluto.
NASA's robotic
New Horizons
spacecraft is
now beyond the orbit of
Neptune and closing fast on the
Solar System's most famous
unexplored world.
The featured time lapse video
shows
Pluto and Pluto's largest moon,
Charon, orbiting their common
center of mass
in 13 frames taken from April 12 to April 18.
Although blurry,
images in the video now rival even the
best images of Pluto yet taken from Earth.
New Horizons
remains on
schedule to zoom
past the distant dwarf planet on July 14.
