    NASA to Release New Pluto Images
    This new image of an area on Pluto’s largest moon Charon has a captivating feature — a depression with a peak in the middle, shown here in the upper left corner of the inset. The image shows an area approximately 240 miles (390 kilometers) from top to bottom, including a few visible craters. The image was taken at approximately 6:30 a.m. EDT on July 14, 2015, about 1.5 hours before the closest approach to Pluto, from a range of 49,000 miles (79,000 kilometers). Credit: NASA-JHUAPL-SwRI

    NASA prepares to reveal new images of Pluto taken by the New Horizons Spacecraft.

    NASA will hold a media briefing at 1 p.m. EDT Friday, July 17, to reveal new images of Pluto and discuss new science findings from Tuesday’s historic flyby.

    Participants in the briefing will be:

    • Jim Green, director of Planetary Science at NASA Headquarters in Washington
    • Alan Stern, New Horizons principal investigator at Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) in Boulder, Colorado
    • Randy Gladstone, New Horizons co-investigator at SwRI in San Antonio
    • Jeffrey Moore, New Horizons co-investigator at NASA’s Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, California
