Billions of miles away, the New Horizons probe was flying past Ultima Thule, a small object in the Kuiper Belt. By […]
After NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft collected a trove of data from its six-month-long flyby of Pluto, it set its sights on a much smaller object in the Kuiper Belt — an object dubbed 2014 MU69. Scientists believe MU69 will likely be a rather preserved outer solar system object, one that could provide clues as to […]
Scientists have learned a bit about the edge of the Solar System from Voyager 1, but there hasn’t been a lot of corroborating data without follow-up spacecraft. They appear to be getting a second chance, though. NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft has detected what appears to be a “wall” at the edge of the Solar System […]
Voyager 1 has held the distance record for a captured image for the past 27 years thanks to its legendary “Pale Blue Dot” photo (3.75 billion miles away from Earth), but that milestone just got smashed. NASA’s New Horizons probe took pictures of Kuiper Belt objects at a distance of over 3.79 billion miles from […]
The spacecraft was 3.79 billion miles from Earth when it snapped this photo of a Kuiper Belt object. https://media.wired.com/photos/5a7cdc70a8e48854db1758ab/master/pass/SPoW_Feb05_2018_02.jpg

But I was here on the search to find bigger creatures. Between April and November, […]
NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft — which famously flew by Pluto in the summer of 2015 — is going to sleep for a little while as it speeds toward its next destination at the edge of the Solar System. On April 7th, the vehicle went into hibernation, a mode in which most of its instruments are […]
GETTY Menorca makes up for its size in character and its laid-back, simple vibe Menorca Menorca may be one of the smaller Balearic islands (sometimes spelt Minorca and aptly named in contrast to its bigger sister, Majorca), but what it lacks in size it more than makes up for in character and its laid-back, simpler […]
