The NASA New Horizons spacecraft obtained intriguing images and data during it's trip through the Pluto system which will keep planetary scientists busy for years to come. Now the New Horizons has it's sights set on an object, a billion miles past Pluto, which is called 2014 MU69. It is too faint for all but the most powerful telescopes which is why the Hubble Space Telescope was systematically used to discover it.

根据英国媒体报导，NASA的新视野号探测器（New Horizons，有翻译为新地平线号探测器）于7月14日抵达冥王星12500公里的位置，新视野号是第一艘研究冥王星及其卫星的探测器，于2006年1月发射升空。　　在不久前，新视野号传回地球的冥王星影像中，表面竟有4个神秘巨型黑色斑点，但正当科学家欲进一步了解时，NASA突宣布新视野号出现异常故障，与地球彻底失联。之后，虽修复恢复通讯，但NASA称短时间无法收集数据。目前探测器距离我们大约30亿英里，接近48亿公里，向新视野号探测器发送指令需要4.5个小时。

What do we know about other planets? Have we considered that we are not alone in the universe? Was Mars once habitable? What could have caused the atmosphere on Mars to disappear? What are exoplanets? Joining us today is Professor Michael Summers, a planetary scientist, and professor of physics and astronomy at George Mason University. Since 1989, he has served on the mission teams of several NASA space probes in the role of science planning and interpretation of spacecraft observations. He is currently a co-investigator on the NASA New Horizons mission to the Pluto-Charon double planet, where he serves as the deputy leader of the Atmospheres Theme Team. Today, Dr. Summers will share the recent discoveries made in science and what scientists know about life on other planets. The unknown history of Atlantis Secrets and cause of destruction.

Some people think on the internet think that Pluto isn't real and that the NASA New Horizons mission was one big fraud. We investigate! 

The story of Pluto is one of a true underdog. Only discovered in 1930, it's promotion and then demotion as a planet caused a lot of, well, heated debates in the science community. But Pluto had so much in store for the scientists hoping to find out more about it. The NASA New Horizons mission that flew past Pluto in 2015 gave the world a new image of the beloved planet-not-planet . Far from being a cold, distant rock on the edge of our solar system, Pluto revealed towering mountains, a possible ocean and a vast, million-square-mile nitrogen glacier shaped like a heart. Planetary scientist Dr Carly Howett speaks to Storyteller about her work on New Horizons and other NASA missions, how they took the now iconic photo of Pluto as the space robot flew by and why we're all still romanced and intrigued by space.

Dal misterioso cuore ghiacciato del pianeta nano al poetico cuore dipinto sulla sua superficie. Ecco tutto quello che ha scoperto la sonda Nasa New Horizons, a 5 anni dallo storico flyby su Plutone

Why Pluto Matters, According to the Scientist Who Got Us Closest to the Dwarf Planet (0:30)Guest: Alan Stern, Principal Investigator, New Horizons Mission, NASAThe solar system you learned in grade school got a major shakeup in the late 1990s. Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are all still there. But Pluto was always the odd planet out. So distant and small and not like the little rocky planets near the sun or gas giants, either. But then, high-powered telescopes revealed in the 1990s that tiny Pluto was just one of a whole class of dwarf planets way out there that far outnumber the planets we all memorized in school. So NASA said, “We gotta go explore that place.” And planetary scientist Alan Stern said, “I'm your man.” 737 Max Crisis Fuels Major Losses for Boeing in 2019 (21:18)Guest: Scott Hamilton, Managing Director of the Leeham CompanyBoeing said today it lost half a billion dollars in 2019 –that's the first annual loss for the company in more than two decades and there's one reason for it: the 737 Max. Should We Be Scared of Facial Recognition Technology? (35:39)Guest: Eric Goldman, Law Professor, Santa Clara UniversityA privacy advocacy group and 40 other organizations wrote a letter to the government this week, calling for a ban on facial recognition technology. The letter was prompted by a recent New York Times expose on a company called Clearview AI. It's all really speculative right now, but the article claims that Clearview is pulling images from social media sites to create a facial recognition program and that more than 600 law enforcement agencies have used it to solve crimes. The Apple Seed (50:39)Guest: Sam Payne, Host, The Apple Seed, BYUradioSam tells the story of how the Grammys came to be and some of the surprise winners of those first awards. Jane Austen's Unfinished Novel Hits The Small Screen (58:44)Guest: Jane Hinckley, Professor of Comparative Arts & Letters, Brigham Young UniversityWhen Jane Austen died of illness at the age of 41, she was working on another novel, but she only finished 11 chapters. It's got an unusual setting for an Austen story and it features her only black character. What did she have in mind for this novel? A writer known for adapting Jane Austen for film and television has taken a stab at finishing it for a series airing now on PBS Masterpiece. It's called Sanditon. Lost and Found: Young Fathers in a New Age (1:20:31)Guest: Paul Florsheim, PhD, "Coauthor of Lost and Found: Young Fathers In the Age of Unwed Parenthood," Professor of Community and Behavioral Health Promotion, University of WisconsinThe rate of teenage pregnancy in America has declined drastically over the last 20 years –which is good news. But over that same period, we've seen a steady rise in unwed parenthood –especially among young parents under the age of 25, and the kids end up being raised by a very young –often very poor-single mother. What about the young fathers? What could help them be more involved in the lives of their children?

Earlier this year, the New Horizons Probe which unveiled the splendors of Pluto for the first time also found another enigmatic wonder astronomers have called Ultima Thule. What in the wide world of the heavens is this thing? What does it tell us about the solar system? Why all the fascination with it? Come along with Wayne and Dan as they explore this new discovery and what it can tell us about the nature of our solar system and the One who created it all.  Image credit: NASA/New Horizons 

Join Wayne and Dan as they explore all the wonderful mystery behind what was formerly once known as our ninth planet. What is Pluto? Where is it? Why all the excitement? Why is it not a planet anymore? Come be encouraged and delight two old guys trying to figure out how should we think "Christianly" about the wonder of the dwarf planet with a big heart!   Dan also butchered pronouncing names as usual, including Ultima Thule.  Dava Sobel's book. (SO-bel, not So-BEL, as Dan mispronounced her last name!).  The Pluto Files  Image credit NASA/New Horizons
