The New Horizons spacecraft is closing in on Pluto, with its closest approach scheduled for July 14, as depicted in this artist's concept. The probe is scanning Pluto, its largest moon, Charon (shown in the background), and some of its smaller moons. It's also looking for additional moons and for rings. [NASA/JHUAPL]
