New Horizons successfully flew by Jupiter today, adding 9000 miles per hour to its speed and aiming it for its next rendezvous: Pluto. I haven't seen too many images yet (just one cool one of my boy, the Spot, over at the New Horizons site). There will be plenty to look at in the coming day or two, I'm sure!
Next stop: Pluto (except it won’t stop)
New Horizons flew by Jupiter, boosting its speed to 9000 miles per hour on its way to Pluto. Exciting images are on the way!
