Astronomy / Space New Horizons Spacecraft Has Woken Up 6 Billion Kilometres From Earth

[Manticore]

The New Horizons probe has woken up 6 billion kilometres from Earth after a 165-day sleep.
It’s on course for 2019 New Year’s Day rendezvous with Ultima Thule, a giant peanut-shaped rock in the Kuiper Belt.
The probe is moving at more than 1 million kilometres a day.

New Horizons’ clearest pics were the extraordinary images it sent back of Pluto as it whizzed past, such as this sunset over the mountains:

There are 'Sand Dunes' on Pluto. Although the atmosphere is very slight, the 'sand' particles are so light then even a gnat sneezing could move them!

Pluto has been boycotted by parasites ever since the demoting.
