I had to Bing it and watch a couple of videos about it. Good stuff!
Dad got me interested in space when I was very young and I’ve never lost that interest. I’ve followed several of the space probe programs over the years and New Horizons was one of them. I’d almost forgotten about it because it took so long to get out there. When I saw an article about it being just a few months away, I let Dad know so he could start keeping tabs too.
Sadly, he never got to see any of the images. He died just a month before the first blurry images started coming in. I wish he could have seen how beautiful it is because he never stopped considering it a planet either. And Charon looks a lot like our moon.
