Summary:
Pluto may not be a planet anymore, but it’s still a big deal in our hearts. Now we’re going to get a chance to see it up close for the first time.
Tomorrow, July 14, NASA’s New Horizons probe will fly right by Pluto.
At closest approach it'll be 7,750 miles away. That may not sound close, but it's a tiny fraction of the three billion miles the spacecraft has traveled over the last nine years to reach the dwarf planet.
