| Since its discovery by Clyde Tombaugh, Pluto is still mysterious to us. Even the Hubble Space Telescope can't take a good picture of it because of the distance from us and the size of it. By clicking on the picture, you'll be able to view a lecture from JPL( Jet Propulsion Laboratory) on Pluto, Gas Giant planets, and also to some extent on Kuiper Belt objects. This lecture mainly and also focuses on the new mission "New Horizon" to pluto. This spacecraft will launch in January 2006 and it'll take at least a decade to reach to Pluto. The lecure is really very informative......so sit back and enjoy the lecuter as you go through solar system......................................... |

| In January 2004 President Bush announced the new vision of space exploration for NASA. According to this vision, it is not a race but a journey to solar system and expanding the confinements of humans in general. This lacture from JPL, mentions very detailed information about this new vision and how NASA has since started implementing this vision into various applications. Since this lacture was made in June '06...I suggest you might wanna go to NASA's homepage(www.nasa.gov/home) and look for more info. on vision for space exploration since it has been updated so many times...This lecture is almost an hour long and there is also 20 minute questions session afterwards...so sit back and enjoy... |
