The countdown is on and New Horizons is already returning amazing images and information about Pluto.

NASA New Horizons

It will reach it's closest point to Pluto around 8AM EST 7/14 after a 9 year journey and is carrying some of the ashes of Clyde Tombaugh, the astronomer who discovered Pluto in 1930.

No offense to our dwarf friend Pluto, but even with a heart shaped landmass he ain't got ***on Neptune for prettiness!

2015 Neptune is still Mister Galaxy.

Granted, 36,000 MPH isn't exactly slow, but I got a chuckle out of this.
