This probe passed Pluto is now 5.1 billion km from Earth and speeding farther into the darkness of space. A few days ago he fired for 20 minutes motors, which gave her a nudge to the side, so that in January 2019 years will pass near the asteroid 2014 MU69. Clay Bavor of Google in a creative way showed incredible speed at which these maneuvers took place.

New Horizons was the fastest spacecraft that left Earth. When I start in January 2006 she gave him the rocket speed of 58.5 thousand. km / h.

Distance to the Moon probe defeated in barely 9 pm. (astronauts of Apollo took three days). With little slower speed past its prime objective - Pluto - in July this year. Now it is 135 million km beyond the dwarf planet and moves away from it at a speed of 57.9 thousand. km / h.

Bavor on Twitter presented a sight that would have unfolded through the window plane, speeding at such a speed. For comparison it is also a view from the window of a jet Boeing 747 (Jumbo Jet), flying with a cruise speed of 885 km / hr., And the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird spy plane long-haul, the fastest I have ever served in the Air Force. SR-71 reached a speed 3.5 times greater than audio (4.4 thous. Km / hr.).

.

If the speed of New Horizons moving aircraft on earth, the distance from San Francisco to New York pokonywałyby barely 5 minutes. - Although of course - adds Bavor - by the way the machine would turn into a cloud of hot plasma.

This enormous speed is indeed the reason why the New Horizons without stopping flashed around Pluto. If the probe would go into orbit around the globe, would greatly slow down - by more than 90 percent. Reduce speed - but such a maneuver did not have enough fuel (would have to take on board - a trifle - a thousand times more hydrazine than the maximum capacity of its tank).

But at this speed New Horizons is now able relatively quickly fly to the next destination - the asteroid MU69, which is located at a distance of up to 1.44 billion km. A few days ago announced NASA, after passing Pluto probe four times fired engines, the last time last Thursday, which changed the direction of its speed so that in three years could slip just above the surface of the asteroid.

                                 "Look out the window - see how it makes the probe New Horizons. The incredible speed." - What kind of idiotic title at all? Ie. that looked out the window and see with the naked eye a tiny probe that is a few hundred million kilometers from Earth? But that's impossible. Besides, in the text there is no word about the fact that I can watch her. So why give such a title? Just to be klikało? Shame, just a shame.
