New Horizons Probe
approaches Jupiter
NASA's New
Horizons spacecraft is approaching its encounter with the giant planet and
will soon be sending some of the most detailed images ever seen of the
mysterious world.
The space probe will come within about 2.2 million miles of the Jovian
surface on Feb. 28, but the views should be great well before then. New
Horizons mission scientists will begin posting new images of Jupiter about
mid-January and will offer new pictures weekly.
View them on the
mission's web site:
