NASA's probe "New Horizons" was launched in 2006 and since then has been speeding across 3 billion miles of space to the most distant planet in our solar system.
The first pictures arrived today with higher resolution images due tomorrow.
I Fu~~ing love science.
More details from the BBC here...
Go to the source, NASA:
I've kinda been sad since Pluto has been demoted to dwarf planet.
You talk about 9 planets and all the little kids at school will correct you real quick and tell you that now there are only 8 planets in the solar system!

NASA's probe -- the most distant planet in our solar system.
I xxx love science.
science should be all of mankind's first love. Pluto's orbit was predictable 300 years ago by the work of David Gregory, Titius, Bode.
Scientists, technicians can be true prophets, predict where a body will be in nine years, aim for the spot and time, and direct a probe there with great power and precision, --bible & wt writers, eat your heart out.
Isn't it annoying when theists imply that rational people are dull because they don't share their superstitious fantasies?
Reality is much more inspiring.
