ZZ-New_Horizons-03.jpgOn the way to Pluto: beyond Jupiter (4)55 visiteCaption NASA:"This image shows New Horizons' Current Position (end of February, 2007). The green segment of the line shows where New Horizons has traveled since launch; the red indicates the spacecraft's path toward Jupiter, Pluto and beyond. Positions of stars with magnitude 12 or brighter are shown from this perspective, which is above the Sun and "north" of Earth's orbit.
AU -> The graphics on these pages note New Horizons' distance from Earth, Jupiter and Pluto in AU, or Astronomical Units. One AU is the average distance between the Sun and Earth, about 93 MMs or 149,6 MKM.
HV -> The Current Position graphic also notes the spacecraft's Heliocentric Velocity - HV, such as its speed with respect to the Sun - in kilometers per second.
One kilometer per second is equivalent to 0,62 miles per second, or 2237 miles per hour".

ZZ-New_Horizons-01.jpgOn the way to Pluto: the passing of Mars (2)55 visiteCaption NASA:"New Horizons' trailblazing journey to the Solar System's outermost frontier took it past the orbit of Mars at 6 a.m. EDT (1000 UTC) on April 7, 2006 - 78 days after the spacecraft launched.
At the time, because of Mars' position in its orbit, New Horizons was actually closer to Earth than to Mars - just 93,5 MKM (58,1 MMs) from home, compared to 299 MKM (186 MMs) from the Red Planet. Speeding away from the Sun at 21 Km (about 13 miles) per second, the spacecraft crossed Mars' path some 243 MKM (about 151 MMs) from the Sun - close to the farthest point in Mars' elliptical 687-day orbit".

Saturn-PIA08359.jpgThe Southern Regions of Saturn55 visiteCaption NASA:"With pastel blues, pinks, greens and golds, Saturn displays a dazzling diversity of colors and hues.
Here, Cassini looks upward at, and through, the sunlit side of the Rings from about 19° below the Ring-Plane. The small moon Janus can be spotted off the Planet's Western Limb (edge) near the image bottom.
Images taken using red, green and blue spectral filters were combined to create this natural-color view. The images were obtained with the Cassini spacecraft wide-angle camera on Feb. 3, 2007, at a distance of approx. 1,1 MKM (about 700.000 miles) from Saturn.
Image scale is roughly 60 Km (about 38 miles) per pixel".MareKromium
