I think a mission to Uranus and/or Neptune would be valuable as an update to Voyager.

coweatsman

Cassini type missions to both Uranus and Neptune would be really cool.

Anton, there is no equal to your unique channel

Keep on mission. We're closer to Sol, we can look at it in dozens of ways, most any time we choose.

But validating a second belt will be a lost dream for decades if we dont use this opportunity.

Just my opinion.

tinkerstrade

Just want to say how much I love your channel. I’ve learnt so much about things I didn’t think I could possibly understand. Thanks for your hard work.

ianlockett

so basically, we beat the main game of new horizons and now we're deciding which side quests we want to do

I happened to be at Melbourne Beach when this launched many years ago, what a freaking ride it has been on. And what a ride I’ve had in my life since then, graduating college, getting married, having kids, buying houses, it’s all insane to think about.

Astronomy is my Hobby and I am very thankful, you share all the interesting information with us. Keep up the good work.

As long as the "battery" allows it to run keep it going for pete's sake, we have nothing else around that area able to do anything like this probe can, or will have any time soon. Using the same approach as with the Voyager's is in my opinion the way to go.

There is no other object even close to it to observe anymore. It's in the Kuiper belt. Objects are everywhere, yet so far apart. Even on the mission site, it has no target yet.

Would love to see a mission "above" or "below" the plane of the solar system to get an "arial" view.

Wow this is the first I’ve heard of a secondary Kuiper Belt. Without knowing the distances involved, I almost wonder if it could actually be a gap that could have been cleared by a massive Planet X type object, the way that Saturns rings have gaps occupied by larger objects

It would be so short sighted to switch New Horizons' mission given the new information about the outer solar system. I really hope the new research puts flesh on the skeleton of the 'Outer Kuiper Belt'. Maybe then we could shut down some non essentials temporarily and wake them up when we get among the exciting things that are surely out there.

Question, Anton: how heavily in NASA's consideration weighs the finite capacity of the Deep Space Network to schedule receiving transmissions from an increasing number of outer solar system missions like JUNO, JUICE, CALYPSO et al?

mickwilson

Additionally, besides KBelt objects being far apart, my understanding is that the trajectory of NHor. takes it across a swath of the Milky Way in relation to Earth thus increasing the background objects and making it harder to discover likely closer, but fainter, KBelt candidates for NHor. to be diverted to rendezvous with.

Loved the New Horizons mission! Hope it continues!

maryhuckaby

Spaseba... Anton, you're one wonderful man...❤

philipcallicoat

I agree that it's premature to fundamentally alter New Horizons' mission objectives.

roeva

Wouldn't it be great if Planet X was to be discovered right on the track of New Horizons! :)

Melih_R_Calikoglu

I wish they would have put New Horizons in orbit around Pluto. There seems to be so much more to learn there.
