NASA's New Horizon probe flies over Jupiter
The New Horizon probe is the fastest speed ship of all the previously unmanned aerial probes and it is currently 1.5 million miles away.
New Horizon unmanned probe was set in the direction of Pluto after receiving gravity from Jupiter on Wednesday.
The New Horizon probe is the fastest-speed ship of all the previously unmanned aerial probes and is currently 1.5 million miles away from Jupiter. This allows scientists to have a close-up view of the largest planet in its solar system and its moons.

Managers of this task at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory in the city of Laurel, Maryland, the United States is waiting for the signal from the explorer ship as it passes Jupiter.
Alice Bowman, Director of Operations Programs, checked the ship's status table, then cheered when she announced 'the ship is nearing Jupiter and this also means We are on the road to Pluto. '
The New Horizon probe, its current speed has increased to more than 52,000 miles per hour, designed and assembled at the Laurel lab and tested at NASA's Goddard space flight center located in the city. Greenblt, Maryland. It will conduct more than 700 separate observations about Jupiter from January to June.
The Glen Fountain project leader said the ship will fly through Jupiter's " tail tail ". This tail is described as a 'teardrop-shaped plasma block' that extends from inside to outer space. Fountain adds ' this is an area that has never been seen '
New Horizon began a 3 billion mile journey and lasted for nine and a half years to Pluto in January 2006. When it comes to Pluto, it will conduct research on the mysterious ice areas surrounding it. At the time of New horizon's release, Pluto is still a planet but in August astronomers placed it as a dwarf planet. New horizon is hopeful and will fly to Pluto in July 2015.
