1. January 19, 2006: New Horizons Launches for Pluto

2. Jupiter Flyby:New Horizons soars past Jupiter as the volcanic moon Io passes between the spacecraft and planet.

3. A Portrait from the Final Approach to Pluto and Charon:A portrait from the final approach. Pluto and Charon display striking color and brightness contrast in this composite image from July 11, showing high-resolution black-and-white LORRI images.

4. Recent Measurements of Pluto and Charon Obtained by New Horizons: A view of Pluto and Charon as they would appear if placed slightly above Earth's surface and viewed from a great distance.

5. Pluto Image Sent to Earth on July 14. 2015: Three billion miles away, Pluto has sent a “love note” back to Earth, via NASA's New Horizons spacecraft.

6. Views of Pluto Through the Years.

7. New Horizons Close-Up of Charon’s ‘Mountain in a Moat’: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.

8. Portrait of Pluto and Charon: The latest two full-frame images of Pluto and Charon were collected separately by New Horizons during approach on July 13 and July 14, 2015. The relative reflectivity, size, separation, and orientations of Pluto and Charon are approximated in this composite image, and they are shown in approximate true color.

9. New Horizons Captures Two of Pluto's Smaller Moons: While Pluto’s largest moon Charon has grabbed most of the lunar spotlight, two of Pluto’s smaller and lesser-known satellites are coming into focus via new images from the New Horizons spacecraft.

10. NASA’s New Horizons Finds Second Mountain Range in Pluto’s ‘Heart’:Pluto’s icy mountains have company. NASA’s New Horizons mission has discovered a new, apparently less lofty mountain range on the lower-left edge of Pluto’s best known feature.

11. NASA Celebrates New Horizons' Closest Approach to Pluto: Guests and New Horizons team members countdown to the spacecraft's closest approach to Pluto, Tuesday, July 14, 2015.

12. Members of the New Horizons Team at the Launch of New Horizons: Members of the New Horizons team are shown at the launch of the spacecraft, Kennedy Space Center, Cape Canaveral, Florida on January 19, 2006.

pluto, reminds me of a cartoon character

13. NASA Missions Have Their Eyes Peeled on Pluto: What's icy, has "wobbly" potato-shaped moons, and is arguably the world's favorite dwarf planet? The answer is Pluto, and NASA's New Horizons is speeding towards the edge of our solar system for a July 14 flyby.

14. Pluto By Moonlight: On July 14, New Horizons mission scientists will soon obtain the first images of the night region of Pluto, using only the light from Charon, itself softly illuminated by a Sun 1,000 times dimmer than it is at Earth.

15. Pluto-Bound New Horizons Takes a Distant Look at Neptune with labels:NASA's Pluto-bound New Horizons spacecraft captured this view of the giant planet Neptune and its large moon Triton.

16. Long Range Reconnaissance Imager (LORRI) Instrument: Technicians install the Long Range Reconnaissance Imager (LORRI) on NASA's New Horizons spacecraft.

No images of the inner components of the planet?

What do you mean inner component?

We don't even have a photo of the "inner" component of the earth let alone pluto (except of course you are talking about geological models of the planet's interior).

dito!

Well, to generate a geological model you need to have a basic idea about some physical parameters of your system at the very least. Unfortunately, we don't know so much about Pluto yet.

ok

dis is wonderfully awesome
