Seeing the first actual great image of Pluto reminded me how Carl Sagan said “Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.“ All we could see before was a blurry speck and by sending the New Horizons spacecraft out there we discovered a new world. credits: NASA/APL/SwRI
We will be taking pre-orders for this shirt until 7/21 at 11:59PM EST.
What the world needed on July 14th, 2015 was love, sweet love.
Learn more about
the inspiration for this shirt: the now iconic New Horizons photo and
its endeavor 9 years in the making that brought us closer to Pluto than
ever before.
This image was captured from a distance of 476,000 miles. Tomorrow’s image will be 10 times sharper than this, says NASA, and akin to seeing the lakes in Central Park and the piers on the Hudson.
Here’s Our First Close-Up Photo Of Pluto’s Surface
NASA’s New Horizons probe launched in 2006 and has traveled 3 billion miles in the past nine years. It’s not stopping at Pluto, but it flew past the dwarf planet at 7.49 a.m. ET Tuesday.
At its closest approach, the spacecraft will have been just 12,500 kilometers (about 7,750 miles) from the surface, traveling at 14 kilometers per second (31,000 miles per hour). This is the first time we’ve come this close to Pluto. [x]
