    New Horizons Returns First, Best Images of Pluto
    Tricia Talbert
    NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft has sent back the first in a series of the sharpest views of Pluto it obtained during its July flyby – and the best close-ups of Pluto that humans may see for decades.

    New Horizons: Imagining a Landing on Pluto
    Bill Keeter
    Imagine a future spacecraft following New Horizons’ trailblazing path to Pluto, but instead of flying past its target – as New Horizons did to explore Pluto and beyond – the next visitor touches down in the midst of tall mountains on the icy plains of Pluto’s heart.

    New Horizons ‘Speeds Up’ on Final Approach to Pluto
    Lillian Gipson
    With just two weeks to go before its historic July 14 flight past Pluto, NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft tapped the accelerator late last night and tweaked its path toward the Pluto system.

    Bursty Variations of Jovian 6cm Radio Emissions and Quasi-Periodic Jupiter's Polar Activities

    In reference to Jupiter south polar quasi-periodic 40-50 min (QP-40) activities and the model scenario for global QP-40 oscillations of the Jovian inner radiation belt (IRB), we validate relevant predictions and confirmations by amassing empirical evidence from Ulysses, Cassini, Chandra, Galileo, XMM-Newton, and Advanced Composition Explorer for Jupiter north polar QP-40 activities. We report ground 6cm radio observations of Jupiter by Urumqi 25m telescope for synchrotron intensity bursty variations of the Jovian IRB and show their likely correlations with the recurrent arrival of high-speed solar winds at Jupiter.

    Stunning images of Pluto were acquired last month by the New Horizons spacecraft as it came to within 12,500 km of the dwarf planet, which lies some 7.5 billion kilometres from Earth.
