NASA's New Horizons Proves Deep-Space Navigation via Stellar Parallax
NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft accomplished a world-first by performing a deep-space stellar navigation test using stellar parallax. On April 23, 2020, while 438 million miles from Earth, it imaged nearby stars Proxima Centauri and Wolf 359. From the spacecraft’s distant viewpoint, the stars appeared slightly shifted compared to Earth-based obs...

NASA’s Hubble and New Horizons Collaborate for Uranus Observation, Shedding Light on Exoplanet Imaging
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and the New Horizons spacecraft teamed up for a unique dual observation of Uranus, providing valuable insights into planetary atmospheres. Hubble captured high-resolution images, revealing atmospheric features, while New Horizons, 6.5 billion miles away, saw the planet as a small dot. This combined data helps researche...

NASA's New Horizons Data Helps Identify a Possible Source for Pluto's Moon Charon's Red Cap
NASA's New Horizons mission data along with novel laboratory experiments and exospheric modelling has helped scientists to reveal the likely composition of the red cap on Pluto's moon Charon and how it may have formed. The team realistically replicated Charon surface conditions to measure the composition and colour of hydrocarbons produced on Charo...

NASA Probe Beams Sharpest Ever Images of Pluto
NASA's New Horizons spacecraft has sent back some of the sharpest images of Pluto, showing a wide variety of cratered, mountainous and glacial terrains, which may be the best close-ups of the icy-dwarf planet that humans could see for decades.

Scientists Puzzle Over Pluto's Polygons
New pictures relayed by the first spacecraft to visit distant Pluto show odd polygon-shaped features and smooth hills in an crater-free plain, indications that the icy world is geologically active, New Horizons scientists said on Friday.
