NASA turns lights back on for New Horizons mission to Ultima ThuleThe probe is set to fix its cameras on Ultima Thule, a planetary body about the size of Orlando, Fla., in a region beyond Pluto. Despite the shutdown, NASA will still have its social media accounts and NASA TV operating for the event Tuesday. I seriously thought this was Queens. Uh huh. Go UCFKnights !

The Latest: NASA spacecraft dashes by world beyond PlutoLAUREL, Md. (AP) — The Latest on NASA's New Horizons' New Year rendezvous (all times local): 12:33 a.m. A NASA spacecraft opens the new year at the most distant world ever explored, a billion miles beyond Pluto. Flight controllers say everything looked good for New Horizons' flyby of the tiny, icy object at 12:33 a.m. Tuesday, 3 ½ years after its encounter with Pluto. Confirmation won't come for hours, though, given the vast distance. The mysterious target nicknamed Ultima Thule (TOO-lee) is 4 billion miles (6.4 billion kilometers) from Earth. Scientists want New Horizons observing Ultima Thule, not phoning home. So they won't know until late morning whether the spacecraft survived. With New Horizons on autopilot, Mission Control at Johns Hopkins University's Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland, was empty. Instead, team members and their guests gathered nearby for back-to-back countdowns at midnight and again 33 minutes later. Queen guitarist Brian May, who also happens to be an astrophysicist, joined the team at Johns Hopkins for a midnight premiere of the song he wrote for the big event. Yeah right. Only in a computer simulation It takes 10 hours to get information back to us from that far away. That's roughly equivalent to how often airlines update us on protracted delays. A billion miles eh? Sure

NASA spacecraft opens new year at tiny, icy world past PlutoThe mysterious, ancient target nicknamed Ultima Thule is 4 billion miles from Earth. Russia!! NASA succeeds even as they are unpaid. They extend the boundaries of the earth even as we fight over a meaningless wall on a very small planet. Let’s turn the presidency over to NASA. Just Another Government Propaganda.🌷

NASA spacecraft opens new year at tiny, icy world past PlutoLAUREL, Md. (AP) — The NASA spacecraft that yielded the first close-up views of Pluto opened the new year at an even more distant world, a billion miles beyond. Flight controllers said everything looked good for New Horizons' flyby of the tiny, icy object at 12:33 a.m. Tuesday. Confirmation was not expected for hours, though, given the vast distance. The mysterious, ancient target nicknamed Ultima Thule is 4 billion miles (6.4 billion kilometers) from Earth. Scientists wanted New Horizons observing Ultima Thule during the encounter, not phoning home. So they had to wait until late morning before learning whether the spacecraft survived. If we find aliens we’ll probably be asked to pay for another wall. Lies.... Nothing made by the hands of man has ever been beyond the firmament.... Everything we see from NASA is either computer generated, or filmed from a set right here on Earth. Do you have any proof of this out side of what is given to you by a billion-dollar backed military organization started by the supreme nazi Werhner Von Braun?

NASA spacecraft dashes by world beyond PlutoThe Latest on NASA's New Horizons' New Year rendezvous (all times local): 10: 40 a.m. NASA's New Horizons spacecraft has survived humanity's most distant exploration of another world. Ten hours after the middle-of-the-night encounter 4 billion miles (6.4 billion kilometers) away,... Mueller probe? 'Celestial body' seems more appropriate than 'world'.
