Destination: Pluto. The New Horizons spacecraft roared off its launch pad at Cape Canaveral in Florida, USA in 2006 toward adventures in the distant Solar System. The craft is the fastest spaceships ever launched by humans, having passed the Moon only nine hours after launch, and Jupiter only a year later. After spending almost a decade crossing the Solar System, New Horizons will fly past Pluto on Tuesday. Pluto, officially a planet when New Horizons launched, has never been visited by a spacecraft or photographed up close. After Pluto, the robot spaceship will visit one or more Kuiper Belt Objects orbiting the Sun even farther out than Pluto. Pictured, the New Horizons craft launches into space atop a powerful Atlas V rocket. Pluto flyby updates: #PlutoFlyby, Twitter, Facebook, Web

🌌 目的地：冥王星 🌌
2006年，New Horizons太空探測器從美國佛羅里達州的卡納維爾角發射升空，展開了一段通往遙遠太陽系的冒險旅程。這艘探測器是人類發射的最快太空船，發射後僅九小時就已經通過月球，並在一年內飛越木星。經過近十年的太空旅程，New Horizons將於星期二飛越冥王星。冥王星在New Horizons發射時仍被視為行星，卻從未被太空船近距離訪問或拍攝。飛掠冥王星後，這艘機器人太空船將訪問一個或多個位於比冥王星更遠的柯伊伯帶天體。
