July 14, 2015
NASA achieved a milestone by reaching the closest point to the small planet (Pluto) after 9 years.
New Horizons spacecraft made its closest approach to Pluto Tuesday, about 7,750 miles above the surface — roughly the same distance from New York to Mumbai, India – making it the first-ever space mission to explore a world so far from Earth.
