Description:
|
This July, the New Horizons
spacecraft, one of the most
advanced ever built, flew by Pluto to
take the very first detailed images of
the dwarf planet. This film discusses
the journey and time it took to
finally get a close look at this
strange, icy world. Filmed before New
Horizons successful flight, we learn
what a treacherous journey the
spacecraft had to make. Back on Earth
during this voyage, we see how the
planetary scientists who have spent
decades working on this mission
anxiously awaited a signal from their
spacecraft. Will we share in their
first moments of examining Pluto in
such detail? Join us and find out.
