NASA_s New Horizons Mission to Pluto

NASA's New Horizons mission to Pluto was a historic space exploration mission that provided unprecedented insights into the distant dwarf planet and its moons. Launched in 2006, New Horizons conducted a flyby of Pluto and its moon Charon in July 2015. The mission revealed detailed images of Pluto's surface, its diverse geology, and a surprising lack of impact craters. It also discovered new moons and studied Pluto's thin atmosphere. New Horizons continues to explore the Kuiper Belt, providing valuable data about other distant objects in our solar system.
