Image of Charon, dwarf planet Pluto's binary partner, taken by New Horizons in 2015.

Tweeted on 15th of July 2015 (how I miss those days):

Charon and I were both discovered in 1978. It's great to finally be able to see her. #PlutoFlyby

#OnThisDay in 2015, the #NewHorizons spacecraft captured the first high-resolution photographs of #Pluto. Shortly thereafter, I created this "family portrait" of our #SolarSystem, which received quite a bit of attention on Twitter.

High-resolution image of Pluto taken by the New Horizons spacecraft before its closest approach. The image shows a reddish, cratered surface, with a notable lighter-colored, heart-shaped region and mountainous terrain visible. This is just the beginning of the data New Horizons will send back, promising to revolutionize our understanding of Pluto.

Unprecedented close-up of Pluto (right) and its moon Charon (left), captured by the New Horizons spacecraft three days before its historic flyby. Witnessing the culmination of a decade-long journey to explore the distant reaches of our solar system.

Flying Over Charon Images from NASA's New Horizons spacecraft were used to create this flyover video of Pluto's largest moon, Charon. The “flight” starts with the informally named Mordor (dark) region near Charon’s north pole. The camera then moves south to a vast chasm, descending from 1,100 miles (1,800 kilometers) to just 40 miles (60 kilometers) above the surface to fly through the canyon system. From there it’s a turn to the south to view the plains and "moat mountain," informally named Kubrick Mons, a prominent peak surrounded by a topographic depression. New Horizons Long-Range Reconnaissance Imager (LORRI) photographs showing details at up to 400 meters per pixel were used to create the basemap for this animation. Those images, along with pictures taken from a slightly different vantage point by the spacecraft’s Ralph/ Multispectral Visible Imaging Camera (MVIC), were used to create a preliminary digital terrain (elevation) model. The images and model were combined and super-sampled to create this animation. Credit: NASA/JHUAPL/SwRI/Stuart Robbins
