New Horizons is healthy and speeding across the Kuiper Belt, nearing a distance of 60 times as far from the Sun as Earth is! The spacecraft continues to collect data on our Sun’s cocoon in the galaxy (the heliosphere) and transmit that data back to Earth.

New observations from NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft hint that the Kuiper Belt – the vast, distant outer zone of our solar system populated by hundreds of thousands of icy, rocky planetary building blocks – might stretch much farther out than we thought.

The New Horizons spacecraft is healthy, active, and speeding across the Kuiper Belt. Principal Investigator Alan Stern covers the range of observations New Horizons is making – with the spacecraft serving as an observatory in the outer solar system.

It's so dark where New Horizons is – billions of miles beyond the inner solar system – that the spacecraft has the opportunity to do something that nothing else can: precisely measure the darkness of space itself.

NASA's New Horizons begins its second extended mission! 🎉
The spacecraft will continue exploring the outer reaches of the solar system, collecting particle measurements and data to better understand the Kuiper Belt and the Sun's outer heliosphere.

New Horizons mission scientists have found evidence that cryovolcanic activity – ice volcanoes – most likely created some of the unique structures on Pluto not yet seen anywhere else in the solar system. Details:
