Three prominent features on the Kuiper Belt object #Arrokoth – the farthest planetary body ever explored, by @NASA's New Horizons spacecraft – now have official names.https://jhuapl.link/gv5  @NASASolarSystem @JHUAPL @SwRIpic.twitter.com/lKk6X8QYmt

No matter how far we are apart, #Pluto will always have our heart. #SpaceValentines @NASASolarSystem @JHUAPL @SwRI #ValentinesDaypic.twitter.com/ppBNMX5dx3

Seeing the "dark side" of Pluto The @NASA New Horizons team has captured photos of the portion of #Pluto's landscape that wasn't directly illuminated by sunlight — what the team calls Pluto's "dark side." https://jhuapl.link/nh-0xf  @nsf @SwRI @JHUAPL @NASASolarSystempic.twitter.com/4ifnya3uNV

LIVE: New Horizons Project Scientist Hal Weaver of @JHUAPL covers the latest discoveries in the Kuiper Belt in a press briefing at the AAS Division for Planetary Sciences meeting. #DPS2021 : https://youtu.be/V5UudvSoE0o pic.twitter.com/gGoVikghWT

Nearly 5 billion miles from home, @NASA's New Horizons sees things we can't spot from Earth.What's the newest mission discovery? Find out during the DPS press briefing today at 11 AM EDT. #KuiperBelt @JHUAPL @SwRIpic.twitter.com/bf0dWXVqxk

Six years ago today, @NASA’s New Horizons made history with the first up-close exploration of the #Pluto system, resulting in the sharpest images & data gathered of Pluto & moon Charon as it zipped by at +30,000mph. https://jhuapl.link/9hm  @NASASolarSystem @JHUAPL @SwRIpic.twitter.com/i5Cssp9A5r

New Horizons has reached a rare deep-space milepost - 50AU from the Sun. It is now 50 times farther from the Sun than Earth! New Horizons is just 1 of 5 spacecraft to reach this distance on its way out of the solar system. http://bit.ly/nh-50facts  @JHUAPL @SwRI @NASASolarSystempic.twitter.com/QsVABlPkVq

It's the 15th anniversary of the @NASA New Horizons launch! PI @AlanStern looks back at the 5,840 days since the spacecraft left Earth, traveling ~4.5 billion miles to the Kuiper Belt, the most distant region of our planetary system. http://bit.ly/pluto-3o0b2V9  @JHUAPL @SwRIpic.twitter.com/fOWknymKzA

Traveling billions of miles beyond the inner solar system and its accompanying light pollution, New Horizons answered the question: How dark is space? http://bit.ly/pluto-38Elhdd  (: STScI/Joe Olmstead) @NOIRLabAstro @SpaceTelescope @JHUAPL @NASASolarSystempic.twitter.com/aZyvTMlaSn

#Plutoflyby countdown (#1) - New Horizons Team Sees Pluto in Detail #OTD in 2015, members of the New Horizons science team at @JHUAPL react to seeing the spacecraft's last and sharpest image of #Pluto before closest approach later in the day. (: NASA/Bill Ingalls) #5yearspic.twitter.com/2NCWXtsXKT

#Plutoflyby countdown (#2) - Pluto's Heart Pluto’s bright, mysterious “heart” rotates into view, getting ready for its close-up, in this image taken July 12. Eventually it is the target of the highest-resolution images that will be taken during the closest approach to Pluto.pic.twitter.com/kNqJItQNGD

#Plutoflyby countdown (#3) - Charon's Chasms & Craters Chasms, craters, & a dark north polar region are revealed in this image of Pluto's largest moon, Charon. The diagram at center shows Charon's north pole, equator & central meridian, with "possible" features labeled (r).pic.twitter.com/CIQN7aSAFX

#Plutoflyby countdown (#4) - The Last Portrait of Pluto’s Puzzling Spots Taken early the morning of July 11, 2015, this is New Horizons' last look at Pluto's Charon-facing hemisphere revealed intriguing geologic details that were of keen interest to mission scientists.pic.twitter.com/7jbnKEuH6h

#Plutoflyby countdown (#5) - Signs of Geology #OTD 5 years ago, New Horizons snapped this photo of Pluto from 3.3 million miles away! This image revealed tantalizing signs of geology on the side facing away from Pluto’s large companion moon, Charon.pic.twitter.com/tBH9HhnrHj

#Plutoflyby countdown (#6) - The Dynamic Duo New Horizons was about 3.7 million miles from #Pluto and its moon Charon when it snapped this portrait late on July 8, 2015. In addition to Charon, Pluto has four other moons: Nix, Hydra, Styx, and Kerberos.pic.twitter.com/7iLFR68Y5K

#Plutoflyby countdown (#7) - A Heart on Pluto #OTD in 2015, mission scientists received this view of Pluto. This image was the first to be received since an anomaly on July 4 sent the spacecraft into safe mode. This pic gave us the first real good look at Pluto's heart.pic.twitter.com/7vYcm8ciIN
