New Horizons arrives at Jupiter
“This is your captain speaking. If you look out the cabin windows you’ll see Jupiter coming into view. Actually, don’t rush yourselves, because we won’t reach our closest approach for another month. When we pass through perigee, we will be 1.4 million miles from the center of the gas giant and we’ll be accelerating to 52,000 miles per hour. At that time we’ll turn off the seat beat sign and you’ll be free to move about the cabin for another eight years until we reach Pluto. The flight attendants will be coming by shortly with the refreshment cart. And once again, thank you for flying New Horizons, your express to the edge of the solar system.”
And you thought international flights were long.
