Title: Pluto Pix Push Interest in Space Exploration Post by: HCK on July 17, 2015, 09:00:14 pm Pluto Pix Push Interest in Space Exploration
Photos transmitted from 4 billion miles away by NASA's New Horizons Pluto space probe have sparked fresh interest in space exploration. New Horizons traveled more than 3 billion miles over a nine-and-a-half year stretch to reach the Pluto system. A close-up image of a region near Pluto's equator shows mountains reaching 11,000 feet in height. The lack of craters suggests they're relatively new.
