NASA's New Horizon space-probe heading for Pluto and the Kuiper-belt, has just passed the giant gas-planet Uranus

In 2006, NASA launched the New Horizons spacecraft, which is now halfway between Earth and Pluto, on approach for a dramatic flight past the icy planet and its moons in July 2015.
After 10 years and nearly 5 billion km, on a historic voyage that has already taken it over the storms and around the moons of Jupiter, New Horizons will shed light on new kinds of worlds we've only just discovered on the outskirts of the solar system.

Pluto gets closer by the day, and New Horizons continues into rare territory, as just the fifth probe to traverse interplanetary space so far from the Sun. And the first to travel so far, to reach a new planet for exploration.
