Eleventh Hour: Resurrection
ITV premieres the first episode of Steven Gallagher’s short-lived science fiction drama Eleventh Hour, starring Patrick Stewart (Star Trek: The Next Generation).
New Horizons launched
NASA launches the unmanned New Horizons probe on a course for the minor planet Pluto, the first spacecraft built to explore that destination. A trajectory with multiple planetary flybys and gravitational assists is designed to sling New Horizons toward Pluto within a decade (compared to Voyager 2’s 12-year trek to Neptune).
New Horizons will enter Pluto’s surprisingly complex system in 2015.
