NASA probe beams farthest image, breaks 27-year-old record
NASA's New Horizons spacecraft has beamed back an image while being 6.12 billion km away, breaking a 27-year-old record set by Voyager 1. NASA's Voyager 1, the farthest man-made object, had captured the "Pale Blue Dot" photo of Earth before exiting the Solar System. Meanwhile, New Horizons shared an image of a Kuiper belt object, beyond the orbit of Neptune.
