AFTER NINE YEARS OF TRAVEL FROM EARTH TO PLUTO AND 4.7 BILLION KILOMETERS AWAYAND SPEEDING AT 58,536KM/H, THE FASTEST SPACECRAFT TO LEAVE EARTH - THE SHOWING OF PLUTO IS ABOUT TO BEGIN AS NASA GETS ITS FIRST CLEAR IMAGES

It's been a long journey — nine and a half years, and just over 4.7 billion kilometres — to the furthest depths of our solar system, and like any tourist, this one is bringing a camera for our first close-up view of Pluto.
On July 14, NASA's aptly-named New Horizons spacecraft will reach its closest distance from Pluto with a 30-minute flyby of the difficult-to-see dwarf planet, which is the among the furthest known bodies from the sun.

At its closest, about 12,500 kilometres away from Pluto, New Horizons is expected to produce never before seen clear, colour images of the icy object, and should reveal parts of our universe previously left only to our imaginations.
