NASA's New Horizons continues to detect high dust impact rates far beyond Pluto. This could hint at an extended Kuiper Belt or other surprising effects in the outer solar system. Learn more: nasa.gov/missions/new-h…
Just 3 weeks until this account signs off! For future New Horizons dispatches from the edge of the solar system and beyond, make sure to follow @NASASolarSystem. 🛰️✨
Heads up! This account will go quiet soon. Follow @NASASolarSystem to continue the adventure with NASA’s New Horizons and more of NASA's incredible planetary explorers. 🌌
Preparations are underway for a major software upgrade to New Horizons’ fault detection and correction system, which will ensure operations much farther from the Sun and on lower power. Upload scheduled for late July. science.nasa.gov/mission/new-ho…
Just roused from hibernation, New Horizons starts six months of active operations that will include long-distance looks at Kuiper Belt objects and close-up data gathering on the dust and radiation environment in this remote part of our Sun’s heliosphere. science.nasa.gov/mission/new-ho…
NASA's New Horizons is on the hunt for its next Kuiper Belt flyby target! Using the Subaru Telescope in Hawaii, the team is scanning the outer solar system for a distant world to explore. 🔭 Next observing run: June 2025.

After six months in hibernation, New Horizons wakes up on April 3! During its winter “nap,” it’s been gathering round-the-clock data on Kuiper Belt dust and the heliosphere, ready to beam it back this spring and summer. More: science.nasa.gov/mission/new-ho…
The New Horizons science team gathered at @JHUAPL from Jan. 15-17 to dive into the latest results from the team on planetary and heliophysics research. 🚀🔭✨
