NASA’s New Horizons snapped the big dwarf planet and its nearby moon for 5 days (July 19th-24th, 2014). Charon is 750 - 753 miles diameter, the largest known compared to the size of its host planet. Some consider Pluto-Charon a binary planet. Credit: NASA/Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory/Southwest Research Institute
