the band Queen, has created an anthem to this epic mission and the grand-piano sized mechanical explorer that has brought us continued discoveries at Jupiter, made the first close fly-by of demoted-to-dwarf-planet Pluto, and having just arrived on New Years Day at Ultima Thule, a small Kuiper Belt Object (KBO) that had not even been discovered when New Horizons launched in 2007. It's May's first solo release in decades, check it out below.

As for the mission itself, I am constantly in awe of the people who make space exploration like this possible and the talents they possess that lead to these exciting encounters with planets, satellites, and now KBOs. I stand in applause for them and the machines they send into space and the science, the inspiration, awe, and wonder that fire our imaginations and drive our youth to careers in the sciences.
