Pluto, Charon, and New Horizons

I am sharing this post that was done up by Gary on his blog, so that everyone who sees this can tune in to watch the flyby and closeup of Pluto tonight.

On 14 July 2015, at 7:49:59 PM Singapore time (11:49:59 UTC) NASA's New Horizons spacecraft will make its historic closest approach to the dwarf planet Pluto, the most distant solid object to be visited by a spacecraft.
