Iconic NASA Probe That Visited Pluto Could Go Dark Thanks to Trump Cuts

On July 14, 2015, NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft flew past Pluto, revealing unprecedented close-up views of the complex icy world. The iconic mission is still returning data from the far reaches of the solar system, but a lack of funding now threatens to end the mission prematurely. As NASA celebrates the 10th anniversary of the historic Pluto flyby, the space agency is also bracing for budget cuts that threaten the historic New Horizons probe. The White House’s budget proposal, released in May

We saw the heart of Pluto 10 years ago—it’ll be a long wait to see the rest

NASA's New Horizons spacecraft got a fleeting glimpse of Pluto 10 years ago, revealing a distant world with a picturesque landscape that, paradoxically, appears to be refreshing itself in the cold depths of our Solar System. The mission answered numerous questions about Pluto that have lingered since its discovery by astronomer Clyde Tombaugh in 1930. As is often the case with planetary exploration, the results from New Horizons' flyby of Pluto on July 14, 2015, posed countless more questions.

Pluto is a unique dialect of Lua with a focus on general-purpose programming

Why should you choose Pluto? Accelerated Development. Greatly enhanced standard library. Several new syntaxes, such as switch statements, compound operators, ternary expressions, etc. Focused On Lua Compatibility. Pluto is largely compatible with Lua 5.4 source code, but there is an imperfection: Pluto implements new keywords, which can cause conflicts with otherwise normal identifiers such as 'switch', or 'class'. The parser tries to identify what is meant but if that doesn't work, you ca

James Webb Peers Into Mysterious Haze Covering Pluto

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have peered into a mysterious blue haze cloaking the surface of Pluto — and discovered that it's controlling the dwarf planet's climate and atmosphere. The findings, reported in a new study published in the journal Nature Astronomy, also hint that other worlds, including our own, may have a hazy history as well, potentially reshaping our understanding of how the Earth came to possess its current climate. "This is unique in the solar system," lea
