I knew Pluto had lost the label of being a planet but didn't realise it was now known as a 'Dwarf World'.

Gone to the (threeheaded) dogs!

New Horizons' not the only probe that was eyeballing Pluto lately.
Rosetta took a photo of it too on Sunday. http://i.imgur.com/7cF3g2E.jpg Left: The unprocessed image is obscured by dust grains in comet 67P’s coma. Middle: Pluto’s background of stars as seen from Rosetta. Right: The processed image shows Pluto as a bright spot within the blue circle. |

Did he really say "superlatives!"
I recall from the movie "My God it's..(this is what I can recall) Markus |

Actually, the phrase, 'My God it's full of stars" is not from the 1968 movie 2001 A Space Odyssey itself, but from the novelization that screenwriter Arthur C. Clarke wrote at the same time as the screenplay. The book describes the scene in which astronaut Bowman is entering the monolith star gate, and he says the following phrase just before losing contact with Mission Control: “The thing’s hollow -- it goes on forever -- and -- oh my God! -- it’s full of stars!” And my attempt at humor was full of holes. :D |
