New Horizons probe passing Pluto and Charon, animation - HD stock video

New Horizons space probe passing Pluto and Charon, animation. These objects lie in the Kuiper Belt, some 40 times further from the Sun than the Earth. Pluto and Charon orbit each other closely, with a separation of less than 20,000 kilometres. They are sometimes considered a double dwarf planet, rather than a planet and moon. Each is tidally locked to the other. New Horizons was launched by NASA in January 2006, and arrived at Pluto in July 2015. After this encounter it was redirected to pass the Kuiper Belt Object 486958 Arrokoth, arriving there on 1 January 2019
