[PS] Happy New Year! The New Horizons flyby was successful!
Planetary Society Blog /////////////////////////////////////////// Happy New Year! The New Horizons flyby was successful! Posted: 01 Jan 2019 09:27 AM PST http://www.planetary.org/blogs/emily...y-success.html New Horizons has "phoned home" as expected, 4 hours after its closest approach to 2014 MU69. Its brief transmission contained no science data, but gave the scientists welcome news: New Horizons has successfully pulled off the most distant flyby ever. |

Its brief transmission contained no science data, but gave the scientists welcome news: New Horizons has successfully pulled off the most distant flyby ever. Very exciting. The pre-encounter images indicate that it is rotating, so that will hopefully provide for images of more than just one side of 2014 MU69. The only downside is that it's going to take many months to download all of the data from the encounter. I think I saw an estimate somewhere else of 10 months. Jeff It's a good looking snowman.
