New Horizons Spacecraft

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 spacecraft has captured images of Pluto, revealing a 44-kilometer-wide crater that displays indications of recent volcanic activity.

NASA shared a stunning image on Instagram taken by its New Horizons spacecraft showing a heart-shaped glacier on Pluto's surface.

Pluto was once considered the ninth planet in the solar system, however, it was demoted in 2006 and reclassified as a dwarf planet.

A batch of dome-shaped ice volcanoes that look unlike anything else known in our solar system and may still be active have been identified on Pluto using data from NASA's New Horizons spacecraft, showing that this remote frigid world is more dynamic than previously known.

NASA's New Horizons spacecraft set off on a new hunt for moons in the solar system's most distant edge, searching for clues on our solar family's creation, scientists said on Thursday.

New Horizons spacecraft has revealed that the distant Kuiper Belt object has no evidence of atmosphere.

After studying a space rock some 4 billion miles (6.4 billion km) from Earth, NASA's New Horizons spacecraft set off on a new hunt for moons in the solar system's most distant edge, searching for clues on our solar family's creation, scientists said on Thursday.

The first detailed images beamed back from the NASA's New Horizons mission allowed scientists to confidently determine the body was formed when two spheres, or "lobes".

The most distant object ever explored by spacecraft is a reddish, snowman-shape rock 4 billion miles from Earth.

A NASA spacecraft is believed to have reached the solar system's outermost region, flying close to a space rock 20 miles long and billions of miles from Earth.

The nerdiest New Year's party in the solar system is happening 4 billion miles from Earth, where a lone, intrepid explorer is en route to the furthest object humans have ever explored.

Real-time video of the actual flyby is impossible, since it takes more six hours for a signal sent from Earth to reach the spaceship, named New Horizons.

When NASA chose a target for its New Horizons spacecraft that was farther than anything explored before, "Ultima Thule" seemed a fitting moniker. The far-flung space rock is an inhabitant of the Kuiper Belt, the ring of debris that encircles the icy outer reaches of solar system.
