New Horizons Timeline
On January 19 2006,New Horizons was launch from Earth,almost a day later it pass our Moon's orbit,followed by Mars's orbit in 7 April 2006,Jupiter in February 28 2007,Saturn's orbit in June 8 2008,Uranus's orbit in March 18 2011,Neptune's orbit in August 24 2014,and finally pass Pluto in July 14 2015
New Horizons' Current Position
This picture shows where is the Pluto-bound spacecraft's current position(Updated every 1 to 2 days)Update:New Horizons is now leaving Jupiter at the speed it can go the highest by the next months
Discovery of Dwarf Planet Eris
This is the picture of a dwarf planet discovered in 2005 when astronomer Mike Brown was browsing his telescopic images taken in 2003 to 2005, this dwarf planet was beyond and larger than Pluto.Its first name was 2003UB313,the second Xena and finally the offical name was Eris.The small red dot beside it is actually her moon,Dysnomia
Discovery of 2 more of Dwarf Planet Pluto's moons
This are pictures I got from the website telling you guys how 2 of Pluto's moons Hydra and Nix were discovered by the Hubble Space Telescope team on October 31st 2005
Jupiter's Largest Moons
Unable to see Jupiter's 4 largest moons?Here's what it would look like in my telescope,but only 3 are included because at that time the other large moon Io was behind Jupiter,in this picture I took last December
Uranus's Largest Moons
This is a picture my penpal sent to me last month on Uranus and its largest moons,how?He has both a very sharp camera and telescope to capture this astounding image

Could Pluto once was Neptune's Major moon but fell out of its orbit due to a major collision,and thus formed Charon,S1,S2?
Could Jupiter have been a star but due to major collisions in the Early Solar System allow more than half of its gas to escape and thus formed Saturn,Neptune and Uranus?
For Black,this could be true as several scientists and astronomers pronouced this theory as well.
Milky way,this cannot even happen.like what I told black,the only way for a star to be torn apart is when it gets too close to a black hole.No matter how big the collision,the star will never lose its gases that fast,unless a red,white or brown dwarf sucks it when it gets too close to the companion star.
And black,Pluto moons S1 is now called Hydra,and S2 is Nix,like my blogspot,name after the 3 moons of Pluto as I told Milky way below.
