Alternative headline, if the Daily Mail was covering the story: "New Horizons' Alan Stern Wants To Spend $72 Billion To Shatter The Earth And Incinerate Humanity, For Exploration Purposes"

And the award for Worst New Horizons News Coverage goes to...
http://www.pulseheadlines.com/horizons-spa...on-charon/3218/ QUOTE New Horizons Spacecraft discovers Pluto’s largest moon, Charon The largest moon of Pluto, until now, was spotted by NASA’s New Horizons Spacecraft. This represents a major legacy in the scientific world, and it will surely contribute for further investigations of the almost unknown planet. The newly discovered moon was named Charon, and it is the largest moon from the satellites that surround Pluto. It is 751 miles wide and was spotted by New Horizons Spacecraft on July 14. QUOTE Moreover, with the discovery of Charon, many past theories about Pluto must be restudied. Bill MacKinnon, leader of the New Horizons, Geology, Geophysics and Imaging team at Washington University in St. Louis said that at Pluto’s negative 390º Fahrenheit ice flows like glaciers. |

It looks from the writing style that the site is just one of those spam aggregators that just does whatever it can to attract search engine traffic, taking content from real websites and combining it. If it's any comfort, I doubt there's a single human reader of that headline other than us.

Unfortunately, I think a lot of people probably read it. I saw that headline earlier today when Google News recommended it to me. I even took a screenshot at the time because I collect terrible headlines+preview text from Google News and bizarre mismatches between headline and thumbnail, and this one had both.
"Fun" fact: The really  -inducing ones are the ones that seem to have been automatically transcribed using low-quality speech recognition.

found Pluto in my travels to a much smaller space 30 years ago !
working for CSIRO I spied some microspherules on a ceramic under high pressure processing. Ni, Ti precipitates on a 100um lead spherule got to the front cover ! remarkable resemblance
