Pluto System Flyby

This time last year, space enthusiasts all over the world were eagerly awaiting photos of Pluto. As NASA's New Horizons spacecraft zipped toward its July 2015 flyby of the Pluto system, every image it sent home was the best, clearest image we'd ever seen.

NASA scientists associated with interplanetary space probe New Horizons have revealed the former "astronomer's planet" and its "intriguing system of small moons" in a comprehensive set of papers describing results from last summer's Pluto system flyby.

The 2016 stamp series also has eight new colourful Forever stamps of Nasa images of solar system planets.

NASA has selected the potential next destination for the New Horizons spacecraft after its historic July 14 flyby of the Pluto system - a planetoid that lies nearly a billion miles beyond the dwarf planet.

An unmanned NASA spacecraft is hurtling into the unknown, and Tuesday will make a close shave past Pluto, allowing scientists a close glimpse of the dwarf planet's surface for the first time.
