This week the New Horizons space probe made history when it sailed past the planet (?) Pluto, after a journey of over three billion miles. The probe came within 7,800 miles of the dwarf planet and gave us our closest look ever at the most distant planet in our solar system.
The probe is so far away that it takes signals over four hours to reach back to Earth.
Take a good look at that light patch near the bottom of the planet (?). That shape looks familiar somehow... I've seen it before, but I can't quite figure out where.
Ah. Now I remember. Man, the Disney Marketing Machine already beat us there!
