I couldn't let this momentous occasion pass by without saying something on the subject. Today was the day the "Plutonium" powered New Horizon's spacecraft made it's closest approach of the planet/dwarf planet Kuiper Belt object Pluto. The picture above was taken the previous day before the piano sized probe zoomed past the little mysterious sphere that's parked 30 to 49 astronomical units (4.4–7.3 billion km) from our Sun.
