Is there any available information on approximating or seeing the "distance" of where NH is compared to Pluto, and Jupiter? I'd like to be able to see where it is during the next few years:)

And hey, they're showing surface features! So why do we still need to go all the way out there?  It's so cold, the reading light levels are terrible, and there isn't a single Starbucks or McDonalds - yet.Is this story true or apocryphal: Former US VP Dan Quayle was visiting JPL around the time of Voyager 2's mission to Neptune in 1989. He saw simulations of the probe's flyby of the giant planet and exclaimed how wonderful this was because now we wouldn't have to spend lots of money on actual space missions to find out what other worlds are like! http://www.quotationspage.com/quotes/Dan_Quayle/ "[It's] time for the human race to enter the solar system." "For NASA, space is still a high priority." - Dan Quayle, 9/5/90 "Mars is essentially in the same orbit... Mars is somewhat the same distance from the Sun, which is very important. We have seen pictures where there are canals, we believe, and water. If there is water, that means there is oxygen. If oxygen, that means we can breathe." - Dan Quayle, 8/11/89 -------------------- "After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,
and feel as if I had done some wrong, and it is hard to forget the ugly circumstance. I see that such intercourse long continued would make one thoroughly prosaic, hard, and coarse. But the longest intercourse with Nature, though in her rudest moods, does not thus harden and make coarse. A hard, sensible man whom we liken to a rock is indeed much harder than a rock. From hard, coarse, insensible men with whom I have no sympathy, I go to commune with the rocks, whose hearts are comparatively soft." - Henry David Thoreau, November 15, 1853 |

Don't know why, I just can't.
