Recommended Posts

Meanwhile New Horizons moves towards Pluto at almost 15 kms/second and is only just over three Astronomical Units away from the dwarf planet. It is currently about the same distance from the sun as Neptune.

The encounter with Pluto and its companion Charon will take place in July next year.
