Just how dark is deep space? 🌌 Astronomers may have finally answered this long-standing question by tapping into the capabilities and distant position of NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft, by making the most precise, direct measurements ever of the total amount of light the

A new, peer-reviewed study authored by NASA’s New Horizons Kuiper Belt search team reports the detection of an unexpected population of very distant bodies in the Kuiper Belt. The discovery suggests the solar system may have formed from a much larger protostellar disk, and

We’re going the distance. Congratulations to New Horizons, which is now 60 times as far from the Sun as Earth. Learn more about this spacecraft studying the farthest reaches of our solar system: science.nasa.gov/mission/new-ho…

Even in hibernation, NASA’s New Horizons never rests! Since February, it has been collecting critical data on the Sun's outer heliosphere with its plasma, charged particle, and dust sensors. 🛰️ 🌌 Science continues until hibernation ends in April. science.nasa.gov/mission/new-ho…

#OTD 6 years ago, New Horizons made the first-ever flyby of an object in the Kuiper Belt 4 billion miles away: Arrokoth! This snowman-shaped relic offers a glimpse into the solar system's early days. Learn more: go.nasa.gov/4fx8Cb8 NASA Solar System

How dark is space? 🌌 From 5.4B+ miles away, New Horizons measured the universe's light and found galaxies (and galaxies alone) light up the cosmos. Heading to #AAS245? Catch Marc Postman from Space Telescope Science Institute on the dark and light (sources) in the universe. NASA Exhibit

Talk about cosmic alignment. 🚀✨ #OTD 19 years ago, on the 19th, New Horizons left Earth, reshaping our understanding of Pluto, the Kuiper Belt and beyond. Now 5.7 billion miles away, New Horizons remains the fastest launch in history. science.nasa.gov/mission/new-ho…

The New Horizons science team gathered at Johns Hopkins APL from Jan. 15-17 to dive into the latest results from the team on planetary and heliophysics research. 🚀🔭✨ 🔗Learn more about insights from the mission: science.nasa.gov/mission/new-ho…

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…

Before its historic Pluto flyby, New Horizons got a gravity assist from Jupiter #OTD in 2007—boosting its speed & capturing stunning images of the gas giant and its moons. A crucial stop on the path to Pluto and beyond. 🌌🔭 More: 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. More: 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…

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…

Heads up! This account will go quiet soon. Follow NASA Solar System to continue the adventure with NASA’s New Horizons and more of NASA's incredible planetary explorers. 🌌
