Limitless wonders in a neverending sky

‘Limitless wonders in a neverending sky,’ Queen guitarist Brian May song for NASA’s historic New Horizons mission.

The single by Dr Brian May, that also holds a doctorate in astrophysics, was first played by NASA.

NASA’s New Horizons: Excitement ahead of Ultima Thule flyby Occurring some 6.5 billion km (4 billion miles) from Earth, the flyby will set a new record for the most distant ever exploration of a Solar System object by a spacecraft.

New Horizons will gather a swathe of images and other data over the course of just a few hours leading up to and beyond the closest approach.
