Skypath of New Horizons edit

Please generate a starmap of the skypath of New Horizons similiar to that for Voyager 1, which can be seen on https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Voyager_1_skypath_1977-2030.png !

Agree, this would be wonderful. Wish I knew how to do it. ElectronicsForDogs (talk) 10:57, 22 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

Non-science payloads edit

There are a number of other interesting artefacts onboard NH - an American cloth flag, a silver coin, a piece of SpaceShipTwo, and most importantly the cremated remains of Clyde Tombaugh as well as a small epitaph for him.

These should be added IMO, it's an interesting contrast to the Pioneer plaque and the Voyager Golden Record. As well as, in my view, the most magnificent tomb in human history - he's leaving his home star behind and wandering the night sky for untold millions of years.

What RS did you perceive this information to come from? 50.111.29.1 (talk) 21:40, 27 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
How can there be a piece of SpaceShipTwo on board of the spacecraft, if the idea for that project wasn't unveiled until eight months after New Horizons has been launched? As for the piece of SpaceShipOne, the Florida-state quarter coin, the USPS stamp, the US flag, and the ashes of Clyde Tombaugh, all of which are in fact on board -- those are all mentioned already in the article (and have been since 2010). If there's any that we've missed, please provide a reliable source for the missing notable artifacts. Renerpho (talk) 03:38, 28 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
