User blog:Glaerdir/July 14th, the next giant leap for mankind.

Today, I would like to bring something important to your attention.

On July 14th, 2015, NASA's New Horizons spacecraft will fly by Pluto, the dwarf planet located in the Kuiper Belt.

As you might guess, this is a pretty big deal. It will take high-resolution pictures of the planet and its moon Charon, and for the first time, we will be able to see beyond that small blurry yellow smudge you see in current pictures.

I am pretty excited about this, and I hope other people here will be too. And I also hope this starts some more space discussion, as I'd really like to see how knowledgable on space the wiki is :^)
