PLUTO FLYBY BEGINS - NASA's New Horizons probe has officially begun to execute its sequence of Pluto flyby observations as it zooms toward its closest approach to the dwarf planet, Tuesday, 14 July 2015, Closest Approach: 11:49:58 UTC (7:49:58 am EDT)
NASA Missions Have Their Eyes Peeled on Pluto
What's icy, has "wobbly" potato-shaped moons, and is arguably the world's favorite dwarf planet? The answer is Pluto, and NASA's New Horizons is speeding towards the edge of our solar system for a July 14 flyby.

On July 14, New Horizons mission scientists will soon obtain the first images of the night region of Pluto, using only the light from Charon, itself softly illuminated by a Sun 1,000 times dimmer than it is at Earth.


Almost there, just a day away...the sites below offer many options to follow the event and I hope you will involve your kids too...as this is such an Historic Event and it will come up in future conversations...did you see the flyby??? :)
