Pluto's largest moon, Charon, discovered on this day in 1978.
On June 22, 1978, astronomer James Christy discovered Charon, Pluto's largest moon, at the U.S. Naval Observatory. He observed a recurring elongation in Pluto's images, which led to the realization of a separate celestial body. Charon's substantial size relative to Pluto means they are sometimes considered a binary system, orbiting a common center of mass. This discovery significantly advanced our understanding of the dwarf planet and the outer solar system.
