My moon #Nix, discovered 6-15-2005, has a distinctive, red-tinged crater. Nix is only about 49.8 km x 33.2 km x 31.1 km, but the crater is huge at 18 km across! It was the type of impact that would either make her or break her...😱#GoNix #Space https://t.co/Ie4JMj7bPR

"There May Be A Second Kuiper Belt, And New Horizons Is Headed There" by @SpaceRef - Diagram (by Simon Porter @AscendingNode) shows @NASANewHorizons in a gap in the #KuiperBelt with potentially more objects to explore ahead https://t.co/yTaWqJQE7Q #astronomy #space

In this chart the black dot on the horizontal axis is the position of #NewHorizons - between the two belts. The orbits to the right of @NASANewHorizons are the KBOs in the suspected second belt. New Horizons will be in the region of the 2nd belt in late 2020s/early 2030's. #NASA

FYI a @NASANewHorizons investigator Wes Fraser - Herzberg Astrophysics Institute - made a presentation today at the #NewHorizons Science Team Meeting on ground-based data that suggests that there may be a second Jupiter Belt ... #NASA #astronomy

OTD 93 years ago, on the anniversary of the birth of Percival Lowell who started the search, the discovery of Pluto was announced to the world! In 2015 the #NASA New Horizons team explored Pluto up close for the first time!
