New Horizons Flyby

This simulation shows Pluto and its five moons (Charon, Styx, Nix, Kerberos, and Hydra) as seen from the New Horizons spacecraft during its flyby in July 2015.

Since different computers run at different speeds, you may need to edit the evolution time step to get the simulation to run at an acceptable rate.
