New Horizons is healthy and speeding across the Kuiper Belt, nearing a distance of 60 times as far from the Sun as Earth is! The spacecraft continues to collect data on our Sun’s cocoon in the galaxy (the heliosphere) and transmit that data back to Earth. jhuapl.link/nh-gso

New observations from NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft hint that the Kuiper Belt – the vast, distant outer zone of our solar system populated by hundreds of thousands of icy, rocky planetary building blocks – might stretch much farther out than we thought. jhuapl.link/y8v

New Year, New Horizons. As we count down to the New Year, set a resolution to be part of space exploration. Send your name to Jupiter’s moon Europa on NASA’s @EuropaClipper spacecraft. But hurry! The deadline to sign up is Dec. 31: go.nasa.gov/47ySnad

It's so dark where New Horizons is – billions of miles beyond the inner solar system – that the spacecraft has the opportunity to do something that nothing else can: precisely measure the darkness of space itself. @NOIRLabAstro's Tod Lauer explains: jhuapl.link/nh-ayf

#OTD in 2006, @NASA's New Horizons left Earth, ultimately changing our understanding of Pluto, the Kuiper Belt, and beyond. Now, 5.2 billion miles away (and counting), New Horizons and @NASAVoyager are the farthest operational human-made objects in space.

New Horizons mission scientists have found evidence that cryovolcanic activity – ice volcanoes – most likely created some of the unique structures on Pluto not yet seen anywhere else in the solar system. Details: pluto.jhuapl.edu/News-Center/Ne…
