Has New Horizons reached Pluto?
What is New Horizons? NASA's New Horizons spacecraft was the first spacecraft to explore Pluto up close, flying by the dwarf planet and its moons on July 14, 2015. In early 2019, New Horizons flew past its second major science target – Arrokoth (2014 MU69), the most distant object ever explored up close.
Where is New Horizons Pluto now?
The information it collected radically changed the scientific community's ideas about these scientific bodies, demonstrating that, at least, Pluto is still a geologically active world, under the surface of which an entire ocean can hide. After Pluto, New Horizons continued its journey deep into the Kuiper Belt.
What did New Horizons find at Pluto?
New Horizons observed a large, young, heart-shaped region of ice on Pluto and found mountains made of water ice that may float on top of nitrogen ice. It discovered large chasms on Charon and found that its north pole was covered with reddish material that had escaped from Pluto's atmosphere.
