   А что там на счет «Новых горизонтов», летящего к Плутону? Раньше частенько о нем слышал а сейчас тишина.

      Летит — ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Новые_горизонты
      
      

      приблизительно 5 мая 2015 года — разрешение изображений Плутона с «Новых горизонтов» превысит разрешение лучших снимков объекта, полученных космическим телескопом «Хаббл»[15];
      14 июля 2015 года — пролёт мимо системы «Плутон — Харон» на расстоянии 12 500 км от поверхности Плутона. В целом аппарат будет проводить наблюдения всего 9 дней, за которые соберет примерно 4,5 гигабайта информации.

         А я надеялся какие то новые фото появились уже… пичаль.

            Новые данные с горизонтов — на pluto.jhuapl.edu
            Например, есть снимки от февраля — pluto.jhuapl.edu/common/content/videos/dataMovies/LORRI_4x4_Presser_home.gif

            Just last week the mission began what we call Approach Phase 2. Approach Phase 1, which began in January, was primarily designed to obtain navigation images to home in on Pluto, and data on the space environment where Pluto orbits. Approach Phase 1 concluded April 4, having been performed flawlessly. It included intensive imaging of Pluto and satellites Nix and Charon as dots in the distance to measure their positions against star fields to refine our navigation to Pluto, and the collection of space plasma and dust data to characterize the environment near Pluto.
            
            Approach Phase 2 (AP2), which will last until mid-June, is different. Although we will continue to collect navigation data to home in on Pluto, and environmental data about the space around Pluto, we now turn our attention to the study of the Pluto system itself. During the next two months, we'll be collecting higher and higher resolution imagery, including both black-and-white and color images, as well as infrared and ultraviolet spectra to learn new things about the composition of Pluto and its moons. In fact, our highest-resolution imager, LORRI, will begin returning images better than any obtained from Earth or Earth-orbit by mid-May — that's next month! By the end of AP2, these images will have about 10 times as many pixels on Pluto as the best images available today.

            
            Т.е. к середине июня разрешение снимков станет в 3 раза лучше, чем у Хаббла.

            What to expect when you're expecting a flyby: Planning your July around New Horizons' Pluto pictures
            Posted By Emily Lakdawalla, 10-03-2015
            
            

            As New Horizons approaches, every image of Pluto and Charon that each instrument returns will be the best it has ever taken. They will be thrilling to see. But until mid-July, all the images will still be pretty small. In the days leading up to the July 14 flyby, with only one exception, all of the images that we will receive of Pluto and Charon will be lower-resolution than the best Ceres pictures we have received from Dawn to date.
            * Closest approach is at 11:50 UTC / 07:50 EDT / 04:50 PDT on Tuesday, July 14, 2015.
            * Through June 24, Pluto and all five of its known moons will fit comfortably within a single LORRI photo.
            * Through July 12, New Horizons will take regular LORRI photos of Pluto, Charon, Nix, and Hydra, which will mostly be returned soon after acquisition because they are used for optical navigation.
            * There are few data downlinks near closest approach, so we will not receive many images in real time. But the ones we get will be great.
            * The mission has promised to release LORRI images (higher-resolution, black-and-white) in near-real-time, but not MVIC (lower-resolution, color) images.
            * Only 1% of the science data from the flyby will be returned to Earth during the period around closest approach, including images that the mission has selected for their high science value as well as high public interest. They will be releasing captioned and processed versions as fast as their small team can manage.
            * The rest of the image data will be downlinked beginning in September, about 2 months after encounter. It will take 10 weeks to download the full data set.
            

            
            Так что полный набор снимков можно ожидать только следующей зимой.

      Выложили первые цветные снимки с «горизонтов»:

      This image of Pluto and its largest moon, Charon, was taken by the Ralph color imager aboard NASA's New Horizons spacecraft on April 9 and downlinked to Earth the following day.
      The image was made from a distance of about 71 million miles (115 million kilometers)-roughly the distance from the Sun to Venus. At this distance, neither Pluto nor Charon is well resolved by the color imager, but their distinctly different appearances can be seen.
