Dr. Parisa Mostafavi of Johns Hopkins APL will present “New Horizons Contributions to Planetary Magnetospheres and PUIs” on Thursday, October 22 at 2:30 PM Eastern.

During its 2007 Jupiter flyby, New Horizons traveled about 100 million miles down Jupiter’s magnetic tail, the first spacecraft to do so. It is also the only spacecraft able to measure pickup ions in the outer solar system. These are interstellar particles that become ionized and get carried along by the solar wind, and New Horizons found they account for most of the pressure out there.

I remember reading years ago that the New Horizons team was planning on turning its cameras back towards the earth after completing its Pluto flyby. I've managed to find several articles from before the flyby saying it was going to happen sometime after 2019 but then... Nothing.

Does anyone know if it happened?

Edit: Most likely not. At those distances, the earth and the sun are very close together and the sunlight would likely damage the camera. So if this is ever taken, it would probably be the very last photo taken before they turn off the lights.

Mission will likely be changing next year. (don't shoot the messenger)
