Wonderful and Educational!Â
On Tuesday, July 14, NASAâs New Horizons spacecraft will fly past Pluto, providing our best views yet of that much-discussed little orb so loved by many youngsters.Â
The New Horizons spacecraft, launched in January 2006 from Cape Canaveral atop an Atlas V rocket, was designed for NASA by the Southwest Research Institute and Johns Hopkins Universityâs Applied Physics Laboratory. Moving away from Earth at a record initial speed over 36,000 miles per hour, it crossed the orbit of Mars that April, then exercised some of its instruments while receiving a gravity-assisted speed boost from Jupiter during a February 2007 fly-by. Saturnâs orbit was crossed the next year. The orbit of Uranus was passed in 2011 and Neptuneâs was left behind last August. New Horizonsâ circuits are powered by a radioisotope thermoelectric generator containing plutonium-238 oxide pellets, an essential source out by Pluto, where sunlight is 1,630 times weaker than it is at Earth. A 6â 7"-diameter dish antenna serves for primary communications with home.
At the heart of the New Horizons mission are instruments to study Plutoâs geology, surface composition, pressure, and temperature of its thin atmosphere, as well as aspects of the interplanetary medium. These devices include: The Long Range Reconnaissance Imager (LORRI), a long focal length RitcheyâChretien telescope system with an 8.2-inch aperture designed for high resolution at visible wavelengths. A Plasma and high-energy particle spectrometer suite (PAM) aboard New Horizons comprises a Solar Wind At Pluto (SWAP) electrostatic measuring instrument and Pluto Energetic Particle Spectrometer Science Instrument (PEPSSI). They are used to study solar wind components reaching Pluto.
New Horizonsââ Pluto Exploration Remote Sensing Investigation (PERSI) has two main components: Alice, an ultraviolet imaging spectrometer and Ralph, a 2.4-inch aperture telescope with visual and infrared imaging capability. They will observe Plutoâs thin atmosphere, and may have New York connections. The instruments are said to have been named after Alice and Ralph Kramden, the city bus driver and his wife of Honeymooners fame. Read more on the Sky Reporter blog.Â
On Tuesday morning, join the Museum for a Google Hangout, July 14, 7-9 am EDT, for the New Horizons Pluto Flyby. Hosted by Museum Curator Denton Ebel, Astrovisualization Director Carter Emmart, and Neil deGrasse Tyson, Frederick P. Rose Director of the Hayden Planetarium, the program will link to New Horizons mission control at Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory and to science museums and planetariums around the world to view and discuss the latest flyby visualizations.  Learn more about the event.Â
Whoâs tuning in for the #PlutoFlyBy?
Shhhhhh, Pluto Science. Â
Me, this week.Â

If you havenât heard (or seen) Bill Nye lately, itâs quite possible you have mastered some form of trans-dimensional time warp capability and are currently living in another universe.Â
As LL Cool J asserted â âDonât call it a comeback, [Bill Nye has] been here for years!â
The above image is borrowed from a recent MUCH article that provides fantastic reference resources of Nyeâs ubiquitous presence in the media amongst the last few years, such as:Â
Billâs budding relationship with Jack Antonoff of Bleachers, where the term âRollercoasteringâ is invented from a skill a creative archive birthed from the mind of the Science Guy himself called âNyebonics.â The intersection of science, love, and music has never looked like so much fun.
Nye explains the science behind holograms using emojis. Yes, you read that correctly. Click on the info button in this video to indulge in his emoji explanation of evolution, which is even more fantastic.Â
Oh, and speaking of holograms, virtual reality (VR) is poised to enhance video gaming and reality itself in the form of Microscoftâs Hololensâ augmented reality tech. Check it out!
And although these are only a sample of the videos shared in the article, Nyeâs appearance on âLast Week Tonight with John Oliverâ demonstrated what a scientific consensus actually looks like on television in a blunt strategy to reveal how lopsided and biased mainstream media news outlets have portrayed the faux-debate on human-caused climate change. See for yourself:Â
Sir William Nye has gone from childhood icon of science communication and space exploration evangelism to pseudoscience gladiator and outspoken environmental steward of our home planet.
William Sanford Nye has had quite the life, with no apparent slowing down in his effort to educate the masses and CHANGE THE WORLD! Born to a mother who was recruited to become a codebreaker during WWII due to her brilliance in math and science, Nyeâs father Edwin was imprisoned in a Japanese war camp where he survived without electricity for four years, inevitably becoming a sundial enthusiast to find his way. Our beloved William Nye studied mechanical engineering at Cornell University under Mr. Cosmos himself, Professor Carl Sagan, earning his Bachelor of Science.Â
Nye explains his foray into science via Big Think: Â
Nye began his career at The Boeing Company in Seattle, WA where he developed a hydraulic pressure resonance suppressor still used in the Boeing 747 (#ThanksNYE). After winning a Steve Martin look-a-like contest, Bill eventually quit his day job to write and perform comedy on the show âAlmost Liveâ (see clip here) where the title âScience Guyâ was born. Eventually he earned a show on Seattleâs PBS KCTS-TV show called âBill Nye, the Science Guyâ provided 100 episodes over 5 years on a specific science topic to educate a preteen audience. The show accrued 18 Emmy Awards, and Nye received 7 Emmys for writing, performing, and producing.Â
âBill Nye, the Science Guyâ went on to work on other television programs, including âThe Eyes of Nyeâ (targeting an older audience); âStuff Happensâ via the Planet Green Network; hosted the â100 Greatest Discoveriesâ show; became featured in special appearances for attractions at Walt Disney World, Epcot; hosted an educational show about algebra on Disney called âSolving for Xâ; a science teacher in a Disney movie and on the TV crime drama Numb3rs, and although there are others, a guest appearance on The Big Bang Theory, as well.Â
As Nye became the sought-after science communicator for the public, Bill appeared many times on Larry King Live and other news media networks to discuss the science of global warming, climate change, and the importance of science literacy as a vaccine against pseudoscience and misinformation peddled by faux-experts benefitting off of public ignorance on critical global matters to which a solid education in STEM, critical thinking, and skepticism revealed their necessary application. After joining The Planetary Societyâs Board of Directors (see here to understand what TPS is all about), Nye was the first to become its Vice President, then its first Chief Executive Officer. Has it been mentioned that he surfs as well?
Thereâs so much more we could discuss regarding Bill Nyeâs humanistic contribution to our society, but one thing is for certainâŠwe all would do well to share his continuing legacy with others (especially the children) as weâre going to need many more like him to indeed, change the world.Â

Pluto is More Intriguing than Ever (annotated)
On July 11, 2015, New Horizons captured a world that is growing more fascinating by the day. For the first time on Pluto, this view reveals linear features that may be cliffs, as well as a circular feature that could be an impact crater. Rotating into view is the bright heart-shaped feature that will be seen in more detail during New Horizonsâ closest approach on July 14. The annotated version includes a diagram indicating Plutoâs north pole, equator, and central meridian. Credit: NASA/Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory/Southwest Research Institute
