There Are Mysterious Objects as Tall as Skyscrapers on Pluto. Now Scientists Know Why!
The New Horizons Mission
Despite its discovery, not much is known about the far and away planet. With it being so far from Earth, studying its mysteries has proved difficult. However, NASA sought to remedy this and learn more about the planet by launching the New Horizons mission in 2006.
The mission was designed to gain a deeper understanding of Pluto and its five moons. Charon and its unique qualities were of particular interest.
