Some of the numbers in the article are confusing to me. Maybe you can clarify. It says at the beginning of the article that it is a 3 billion mile journey. Toward the bottom, it appears to say that Ceres is about three times farther from the sun than the earth is from the sun. This seems like a contradiction.

It's also very slow. Leave to NASA to make space exploration extremely dull.

I guess they’re going to see what that part of Tiamat looks like before Niburu wipes it out in 2009.
