New Horizons' view of Pluto on June 6, 2015
New Horizons' view of Pluto on June 6, 2015 New Horizons captured the four images used to make this view on June 6, 2015 from a distance of 46 million kilometers. Four images have been stacked and sharpened. The dark line running across Pluto is likely a real feature, not a processing artifact. Charon is still too small for any apparent features to be definitively discerned. NASA / JHUAPL / SwRI / Björn Jónsson
