Pluto Probe captures first image
The New Horizons space probe took its first image this week. The above picture features the Messier 7 star cluster in our Milky Way galaxy. The image shows the center of Messier 7, which was catalogued by Charles Messier in 1764.
Although this is not a truly astounding or ground breaking image in terms subject or detail. It shows the crafts camera is working perfectly.
When you travel all the way to the "Planet" Pluto you want to take some decent snapshots! So, this image is of great importance, and comes as a huge relief to mission scientists.
