New Horizons "stellar" course?
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. |

(Originally it was not even supposed to explore beyond PlutoCharon; the Kuiper Belt mission is already the mission extension). Read the mission description before you jump to conclusions (extrapolate a trajectory) only from a *current* heading. Think before you post. Likewise. Whether or not its nearly linear path lines up closely enough to any additional objects that it can study them is a matter of luck. You mean probability. Its trajectory is hyperbolic; it WILL leave the Solar System, and there's no way to change that. Incorrect. It was always understood that its trajectory would cause it to do so. Since we have almost no idea what is in the Sol System beyond Ultima Thule, this is not only an unfounded, but utterly ridiculous claim. It is the purpose of this mission extension to investigate the Kuiper Belt, not to make an interstellar probe out of NH. -- PointedEars Twitter: @PointedEars2 Please do not cc me. / Bitte keine Kopien per E-Mail. |

Score adjusted. The question, "Cannot find this information anywhere, but curious where New Horizons would be heading in the long term, in other words what star?" was not answered by you or by your three posted links. So I deleted them. Which of the other 121,999,997 links has the answer? |
