This image made available by NASA in March 2017 shows Pluto illuminated from behind by the sun as the New Horizons spacecraft travels away from it at a distance of about 120,000 miles (200,000 kilometers). On Friday, April 7, 2017, the spacecraft will reach a halfway between Pluto and its next much, much smaller stop, the Kuiper Belt object 2014 MU69.

This image provided by NASA/Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory/Southwest Research Institute on Wednesday, Sept. 14, 2016 shows Pluto's moon, Charon, in a mosaic of photographs acquired by the New Horizons spacecraft during its approach to the system from July 7-14, 2016. A new study finds that Pluto is "spray-painting" the red poles of its big moon Charon. The coloration is from Pluto's continually escaping atmosphere and a reaction with solar radiation.
