New Horizons’ path to Pluto.
Astronomy: Kellie Jaeger
The New Horizons spacecraft is making a beeline toward distant Pluto. In 2010, it passes the halfway point to its prime destination — twice, in fact. On February 25, it reached the midpoint in distance traveled; on October 16, it will have been in space for half the time it will take to get to Pluto.
