Mankind's first close-up look at Pluto did not disappoint: The pictures showed ice mountains about as high as the Rockies and chasms on its big moon Charon that appear six times deeper than the Grand Canyon. Especially astonishing to scientists was the total absence of impact craters in a zoom-in shot of one otherwise rugged slice of Pluto. That suggests that Pluto is not the dead ice ball many people think, but is instead geologically active even now, its surface sculpted not by collisions with cosmic debris but by its internal heat. Breathtaking in their clarity, the long-awaited images were obtained by NASA's New Horizons, the unmanned spacecraft that paid a history-making flyby visit to the dwarf planet on July 14, 2015 after a journey of 9½ years and 3 billion miles. Experience the voyage to Pluto and rediscover our solar system through the photographs and reporting of The Associated Press.

    4.0 out of 5 stars New Horizons, new information.
    Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2016

    I'm currently reading this small book. The information is terrific and up to date even discussing a new planet, Planet 9 or Planet X that has potentially been discovered 10 to 100 billion miles out. The CIT researchers who have theorized it's existance, Michael Brown and Konstantin Batygin, think this planet is basically the size of Neptune. That will be an extremely interesting find if it is ever actually visually detected.
    This book has very small print and the photos, even the ones of Pluto are in black and white. I knocked off one star for that. The cover photo is of rubbery consistency and is nice. I await a much larger book about Pluto and New Horizons with beautiful color photographs.

    Very repetitive since it is a compilation of AP press releases. The book is still very interesting and informative. It's almost like a "as it happened". I enjoyed it.

    Nice little book. Could have used more scientific data. Can't wait for New Horizons to fly by that next object in the Kuiper belt. To Pluto and beyond!

    2.0 out of 5 stars Déception
    Reviewed in France on April 10, 2016
    Verified Purchase
    Petit livre intéressant sur la mission New Horizons mais au contenu (en anglais) décevant. Peu d'images nouvelles par rapport à celle diffusée par les scientifiques de la mission auprès du grand public et surtout aucune photos de Charon et de Pluton en couleurs (les auteurs auraient pu prévoir au moins un encart couleur au milieu du livre). Bref, déçu.
