New Horizons first probe to reach pluto!

The video discusses the New Horizons mission to Pluto, marking the first time a probe has closely approached the dwarf planet. Launched in 2006, the probe took nine years to reach Pluto, capturing unprecedented images and data. It uses a radioisotope thermoelectric generator for power, as solar energy is insufficient at such distances. After Pluto, New Horizons will explore the Kuiper Belt and eventually leave the solar system. The video also highlights past space missions and the potential for future exploration, including NASA's plans for Europa.
