New Horizons has taken more than nine years to reach Pluto, carrying with it the ashes of the astronomer who discovered the remote icy object in 1930. Just hours before Nasa's space craft makes its flyby of Pluto, the Âé¶¹Éç's science editor, David Shukhman, is at New Horizons mission control in Laurel, Maryland. (Credits: NASA/JHUAPL/SWRI)
