So Pluto is still a planet after all? Awesome, I never gave up on you Pluto.

ALL THESE WORLDS
ARE YOURS EXCEPT
PLUTO
ATTEMPT NO
PHOTOGRAPHY THERE
No, it has to do with scale. Like if the Pillars of Creation are 100K times as far from Earth as Pluto is, but it's 100MM times larger than Pluto, then we're going to be able to get a picture 1000 times clearer. Those aren't the right numbers, but you get the idea.
They'll get it back on last second and all they will see is a giant evil robot looking right into the camera or alien ship. It will destroy the probe.

After the fly-by of Saturn, the camera platform of Voyager 2 locked up briefly, putting plans to officially extend the mission to Uranus and Neptune in jeopardy. The mission's engineers were able to fix the problem (caused by an overuse that temporarily depleted its lubricant), and the Voyager 2 probe was given the go-ahead to explore the Uranian system.
It will always be a planet to me.
It is a planet. It's a dwarf planet.
A baby elephant is still an elephant.
A Playstation Slim is still a Playstation.
Mini-golf is still golf. sort of.
Anyway, planet.

Seriously though, I hope they fix it in time.
Pluto is not a planet. Dwarf planets are not planets, they're dwarf planets.
Small humans are not humans, they are small humans,
Small humans are not humans, they are small humans,
Small humans are not humans, they are small humans,
Shit. New Horizons has gone into safe mode.
http://www.nasa.gov/nh/new-horizons-responds-spacecraft-anomalyThe New Horizons spacecraft experienced an anomaly the afternoon of July 4 that led to a loss of communication with Earth. Communication has since been reestablished and the spacecraft is healthy.
A dwarf planet will never grow up to be a real planet.

The round object is the Mars moon Phobos with a large Mothership nearby. This "highly secret" photo was given to the Western press in 1991, by Colonel Dr. Marina Popovich, a Russian astronaut and pilot who has long been interested in UFO's. At a UFO conference Popovich provided information that she "smuggled" out of the now ex-Soviet Union. This is "the first ever leaked account of an alien mother ship in the solar system". The last transmission from Phobos 2 Soviet satellite was this photograph of a gigantic cylindrical spaceship - estimated to be 20 km long, and 1.5 km in diameter. The 'Mother ship', was photographed on 25 March 1989 hanging or parked next to the Martian moon Phobos. After that last frame was radio-transmitted back to Earth, the probe mysteriously disappeared; according to the Russians it was destroyed.
How do the communications with a probe millions of miles away work?
Can anyone ELI5?
I fucking hope they can fix this.
Same here. It will be so disappointing if its not able complete its mission. Best of luck to them.I fucking hope they can fix this.
I've been looking forward to this for a while.

Did you not read the above link?
full recovery is expected to take from one to several days; New Horizons will be temporarily unable to collect science data during that time.
That still has me worried. They are only a couple days away. Well, more than a couple but still, I'm worried.
