I am a huge stargazer and have always been fascinated with the stars and planets. So with the news that the New Horizons spacecraft has reached Pluto, I wanted to blog about this historical event.

New Horizons journey started in 2006 and has taken the spacecraft over 3 billion miles to reach this terrestrial body once classified as a planet, now a Dwarf Planet.

I have posted a small gallery of some of the latest pictures released from NASA, check them out above.

I can't wait to see more!
