This is all very cool.

The United States will top it in a few months when a probe will make a close flyby of Pluto.

Yup. We’ll start seeing the first pics of Pluto in January or so as New Horizons approaches.

The Dawn craft will arrive at Ceres in a few months as well.

The builders say that the James Web Space Telescope will be 100x as powerful as Hubble. Game changer - if it gets to its parking spot in working order.
