Today is the anniversary of Mariners historic martian flyby, decades ago, as well as the rendezvous of New Horizon with the outer cold of Plutonian space.
Personally, im fascinated by being able to finally 'see' Pluto and am amazed to find its a dusty red like Mars. Historically, Pluto was illustrated as cold blue or greenish colour, so im hoping this will be the first of many strange revelations! Not long now before the photos are transmitted, then we will know for sure, what the outer limits of the solar system holds.
The Outer Limits! Yes! Bring it on!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if they'll see a black obelisk floating about in Space ; )
ReplyDeleteSeriously, this is real frontier space exploration!
Now we've seen the mountains of Pluto and the rift of Charon I just want more! NASA have really pulled it off this time. Next stop, the Kuiper Belt! Wonder of any human will ever make it there?
