There is a space probe on its way to Pluto and Charon (its largest moon) called New Horizons. Even as the fastest man made object to leave earth, it will still take 10 years or so to get there, arriving sometime in 2015.
Charon was discovered on June 22, 1978, at the United States Naval Observatory, Flagstaff Station.
The dwarf planet Pluto.
The diameter of Charon, one of Pluto's moons, is 1,413 miles. The diameter of Europa, one of Jupiter's moons, is 1,950 miles. Charon is smaller than Europa.

Charon is the largest moon of Pluto, a dwarf planet that was once considered a planet. Charon is so massive compared to Pluto that rather than Charon orbiting Pluto, the two objects orbit a common center of mass. This leads some to called Pluto-Charon a binary planetary system.
