I think the speed of the New Horizons probe is quite astonishing. In barely over a year from its launch, it flew by Jupiter (it took Galileo 6 years and Cassini over 3 years). Then, in about 2 and a half years from launch, it crossed the orbit of Saturn! Now less than 3 billion km to Pluto. The time will fly!!
I'm wondering when NH will cross the orbits of Uranus and Neptune. As it's scheduled to arrive at Pluto in 2015, would I be broadly correct in estimating a Uranus orbit crossing around 2011 and Neptune's around 2014? |
