When the New Horizons spacecraft whizzed by Pluto in 2015, Earthlings were dazzled by the breathtaking images it beamed home. They revealed a never-before-seen alien landscape - a world of mountains made of ice mixed with plains of frozen-solid methane and nitrogen. After over two years of poring over the data, NASA has made remarkable new discoveries about everyone's favorite dwarf planet. But New Horizons didn't stop there.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

To the Kuiper Belt...and Beyond! submitted by Meginator on June 29, 2019, 10:14pm This documentary focuses on NASA's New Horizons mission, which recently completed the first close fly-bys of Pluto and Ultima Thule in the Kuiper Belt. In typical Nova fashion, the script is straightforward and accessible to audiences with little knowledge of the mission and/or the science behind it, providing plenty of contextual information. The tone occasionally becomes slightly melodramatic, but the story itself is so extraordinary that it feels at times like fiction; this focus on the mission's tense moments also helps to humanize the endeavor, emphasizing that scientific inquiry relies on trial and error and constant innovation. Overall, the program is a bit on the dry educational side of documentary filmmaking, but it's a great comprehensive introduction to New Horizons and the team's incredible accomplishments.
