Animation of Charon Orbiting Pluto (Barycentric)
Animated GIF (unedited by me) from New Horizons of Pluto being orbited by its moon (well, one of its moons) Charon. NASA created this image such that the center of mass is uncorrected (e.g., the barycenter is above the surface of Pluto so both Pluto and Charon orbit a common point that is outside of Pluto).
