Pluto: New Horizons

COSMIC MESSAGE

This artist's vision, titled 'New Horizons', depicts Pluto with its companion Charon in the background. Pluto's surface colors are based on existing astronomical observations, while details like the diminished Sun and zodiacal dust cloud are imagined but scientifically plausible. It illustrates a future exploration of this distant world.
