New horizon can't send data and take photos at the same time since it's antenna needs to be facing Earth for that.

also:
>The maximum data rate one of the probe’s antennas can send to Earth is 1 kilobit per second. Its optical camera, known as the Long Range Reconnaissance Imager (LORRI) takes 1024 x 1024 resolution images, each of which are 2.5 megabits (0.3125 megabytes) uncompressed. To send that one image back to Earth takes 42 minutes.

"It’s important to note that the countdown coverage will not include any live feed of the spacecraft moving by Pluto because we have no telescope strong enough to see the tiny piano-sized spacecraft in enough detail. And the spacecraft is about 4.5 light hours from Earth, so its coverage of the flyby will take at least 4.5 hours to reach us."

New Horizon's cameras and antennas are fixed to the spacecraft's body. It can't capture images and orient its antennas for broadcast to Earth at the same time. We'll have to wait until it's done capturing images of the Pluto system before the spacecraft will re-orient itself, compress the images into thumbnails, and broadcast them back to Earth so NASA can prioritize high priority images, and then download the remaining catalog of high resolution images over the next several months.

That's the actual size of the Andromeda galaxy in the sky. You just can't see it because it's much dimmer while Hubble can make long exposure images. In comparison to that, Pluto is just a point, way smaller than the moon in the image and being much farther away.

Stern just said he'd like to have a Pluto orbiter or lander.

Haumea and Makemake are the other two Kuiper Belt objects that would be cool to visit.

Sedna has a CRAZY-FAR orbit but it is currently approaching its closest distance to us. We should really go and see that or we won't for another, like, 200 years. It would also shed light on the type of Scattered Disk object that have crazy-long orbits like that. The only reason we know of it is because it's so close.

Of course it would have, look at all the American dickwaving in this thread. Going to Pluto signifies the completion of the exploration of the solar system because it is has been seen as the final planet for generations. that's why everyone cares. Ceres barely got a mention in the international press and Americans aren't sperging out over it.

It's just ashes, useless remains of a body. The person won't come back to life to thank you as if you did this in his honour.

According to pluto.jhuapl.edu , about ten hours from now.

Since a simple "I'm not dead lol BEEEEP" shouldn't take any effort apart from pointing the dish in the right spot, This shouldn't take much longer than the 4.4 hr light trip.

I would GUESS that the gap is two things at once: New Horizons is sucking up as much data as possible, and it's also waiting to GET CLEAR of the Pluto system so it can send a clean signal. The latter guess might be somehow wrong, so I'm going to check/invite someone to correct me if I'm wrong.

INTERNMENT, INTERNED: when a LIVING PERSON is held against their will, e.g. Japanese INTERNMENT Camp. Today, the word INTERN is used less formally to describe temporary/conditional workers. "Jeff INTERNED at Upton National Bank."

The word they needed was INTERRMENT, INTERRED: the act of DEPOSITING THE REMAINS OF A DEAD PERSON IN A SPECIFIC, PERMANENT PLACE. The inscriber goofed.
