Image: Close Up of Pluto

Pluto

NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft is at Pluto.  Here is a great image of the small planet (yes I still refer to it as the ninth planet) or dwarf planet.  It is furthest from the Sun.

It took New Horizons a decade to make to to the edge of our solar system.  It came within 7,750 miles from the surface of Pluto.  After it does the flyby of Pluto, it will continue deeper into the Kuiper Belt.
