A New Year With New Horizons
This New Year’s, you can go to a boring old bar like everyone else, or you can celebrate the dawning of another year by watching NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft make history.

At 12:33 a.m. EST on January 1, the craft will fly within 2,200 miles (3,540 km) of 2014 MU69, more commonly known as Ultima Thule, an object far out beyond Pluto in the Kuiper Belt. NASA will be broadcasting the event on NASA TV and providing updates through their social media channels. Yo
