article_snippet.sent: On 14 July 2015 the flyby of Pluto will begin.
article_snippet.sent: Using a suite of instruments, The New Horizons spacecraft will map the surface of Pluto and The New Horizons spacecraft moon Charon to a resolution of 25 miles (40km) - far better than anything possible before.
article_snippet.sent: Despite the long journey, New Horizons will be travelling at such a speed that the flyby of Pluto will last only around two hours - beginning at 11.49am GMT (06.49am EST) on 14 July and ending just after 2.15pm GMT (9.15am EST).
article_snippet.sent: After passing Pluto, New Horizons will flyby one or several Kuiper Belt Objects (KBOs), other bodies beyond the orbit of Pluto.
article_snippet.sent: Our best images of Pluto so far come from the Hubble Space Telescope (shown is one of the images), so the arrival of New Horizons is hugely exciting for scientists, who have waited many years to catch a glimpse of this distant world and unravel some of New Horizons secrets .
article_snippet.sent: Owing to the speed of New Horizons, the observations of Pluto will last just two hours .
article_snippet.sent: In an unprecedented flyby this July, our knowledge of what the Pluto systems is really like will expand exponentially and I have no doubt there will be exciting discoveries.
article_snippet.sent: Owing to the speed of New Horizons, the observations of Pluto will last just two hours.
article_snippet.sent: But the observations of Pluto will collect a huge amount of data on Pluto and the observations of Pluto moons, revealing unprecedented views - and with no other missions to Pluto in the pipeline, no other missions to Pluto in the pipeline will be our only images for a very, very long time.
