The green-eyed monster

Pluto on the left, Charon on the right. The New Horizons spacecraft has traveled more than 9 years to get this photo. Where was I 9 years ago?

When you write a travel blog you can’t help being a little envious of the New Horizon’s journey. On the other hand, I’m a tourist, not an explorer. They probably don’t have very interesting food in Charon, and I’m sure you can do little people watching on Pluto.

Still, a whole new world!

NASA keeps updating the photos. Here is one of Charon: mountains made of ice, glaciers of frozen nitrogen. What a world! What a caper a journey like that is!
