Pluto and Charon as seen by the New Horizons Long Range Reconnaissance Imager (LORRI) on June 19, 2015, from about 20 million miles. North is up in this image. Pluto is displaying a widely varied range of surface markings and Charon is showing a surprising, unexpected dark spot at its north pole that New Horizons discovered in June. (via New Horizons)
