Unveiling the mysterious Moon with the latest LPR tech, scientists have uncovered a five-layer volcanic rock formation that dates back billions of years. Fascinatingly, the thickness of each layer signifies varying degrees of volcanic activity. This discovery is a significant milestone in unraveling the secrets of our planet's history, paving the way for a better understanding of life beyond Earth. #MoonMapping #ScientificDiscovery #NewHorizons

NASA’s New Horizons Mission Still Threatened

NASA's New Horizons mission brought us the first close-up images of Pluto, Charon, and the Kuiper Belt Object Arrakoth. Although deep in the outer Solar System, it still has fuel in the tank, plenty of electricity, and instruments to examine anything it can fly past. Unfortunately, the New Horizons science team has been told that their mission will end on September 30, 2024, clearing up funds for other NASA projects. Why is NASA shutting down a mission that still has work to do exploring the Kuiper Belt?

New Horizons kan de ware duisternis van het heelal meten

Hoe donker is de nachtelijke hemel? Als je tijdens een maanloze nacht naar buiten stapt en omhoog kijkt ziet het er waarschijnlijk helemaal niet zo donker uit.

Uranus und Neptun: Amateure sollen Weltraumsonden bei Forschung helfen

Selbst mit kleinen Teleskopen können "extrem wichtige" Beiträge zu einer Forschungskampagne geliefert werden, heißt es. Es geht um Uranus und Neptun.

¡FANS DE ANIMAL CROSSING! ¡YO OS INVOCO!

No tengo Switch. Francamente, no me interesan muchos juegos de Switch salvo el New Horizons, el Animal Crossing Happy Home Paradise y el Mario Karts.

Ya juego al Pocket Camp en la tablet. Tengo el Wild World, el Happy Home Designer y, sin estrenar, el New Leaf.

¿Está lo suficientemente bien el New Horizons como para pillar una Switch? Es un desembolso importante.

Launched on January 19, 2006,
New Horizons made a spectacular flyby of Pluto July 14, 2015.
On January 1, 2019, it flew by the most distant object visited by a spacecraft, the contact binary trans-Neptunian object 2014 MU6 nicknamed Arrokoth.

New Horizons scientists saw evidence for methanol, water ice and organic molecules on the red surface of the 35 km Kuiper Belt object.

This paper by Tod Lauer et al describes measurements of the dark sky in visible light taken by the New Horizons spacecraft in 2021 and the methodology used to subtract out light from various sources within and outside the Milky Way galaxy.

The table below shows the contributions from various sources which leaves a substantial unaccounted gap in the "Flux in the Cosmic Optical Background," for which we do not have a clear explanation yet.

Here is the current location of the New Horizons spacecraft, speeding away from the solar system far beyond the orbit of Pluto, 7.75 light-hours from the Sun.

The Universe glows in visible light in a way that cannot be accounted for by known sources of light within and outside our galaxy.

So was discovered by the New Horizons spacecraft, as it travel away from the solar system, when it was over 51 AU from the Sun, its camera pointed towards the darkest part of the skies.

New Horizons will point its camera over the next months in between galaxies, making more such measurements in visible and UV light.

The journey to #Pluto, the farthest world ever explored - Alan Stern

As of 1989, mankind had successfully sent craft to every known #planet in the solar system except one: Pluto. Located in an mysterious region called the #KuiperBelt, Pluto is a scientific goldmine, and could hold clues to the formation of our solar system. Alan Stern explains how #NASA's #NewHorizons mission is going to allow us to see Pluto for the first time.
