On Tuesday, New Horizons spacecraft to Pluto approached at a distance of 12.5 thousand. km. Humanity has never been so close so far unexplored dwarf planet. Poll performed measurements and pictures that are being transmitted to Earth. They will show Pluto, we have not seen before.

When on Wednesday at dawn on Earth came first signal from the probe, the flight control center in the Applied Physics Laboratory of Johns Hopkins University once again broke ovation. Scientists are celebrating the success of the mission since Tuesday afternoon, when it came to the approximation of probe to Pluto. They were joined by famous British astrophysicist Stephen Hawking.

Cambridge University cosmologist published on the internet recording, which consists of a team of NASA congratulations. Suffering for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis Hawking in the 80s lost his voice. In the video he says using his famous speech synthesizer.

– I want to congratulate the team and NASA’s New Horizons flyby of Pluto’s history. Billion miles from Earth, a small robotic spacecraft will give us the first insight into the mysterious Pluto – distant icy world at the end of our solar system. I can not wait to see what New Horizons spacecraft reveal about our distant relative – said Hawking.

The legendary physicist remarked that fell on Tuesday 50th anniversary of the first a successful mission to another planet. July 14, 1965, the US spacecraft Mariner 4 flyby of Mars has only a short distance 8,7 thous. km and returned the first pictures ever taken of another planet from deep space.

– Now the solar system will continue to be opened up before us, revealing secrets of distant Pluto. The revelations, which will provide New Horizons spacecraft, can help us better understand how our solar system formed – said Hawking.

– We are investigating, because we are human and we want to know. I hope that Pluto will help us in this journey. I’ll be watching this closely, and I hope that you too will be – said astrophysicist.
