Cannot find this information anywhere, but curious where New Horizons
would be heading in the long term, in other words what star? And also
are there any more visits to other objects planned besides the latest?
Thank you.
It seems to be heading in the general direction of Xi 1,2 Sagittarii, less than a degree to the east of those stars, perhaps.


Thank you, the information I was looking for.


So you believe blindly everything that you read?


Maybe you have a better estimation of where this spacecraft is headed?

(Hint: It will exit the Kuiper Belt in a few years. And keep going.)
