New Horizons is exploring this region and the Kuiper Belt Objects (KBOs) found there in an effort to better understand these far-away worlds and the journeys they're making through the cosmos. These objects include dwarf planets like Pluto in far-out orbits of the sun and former KBOs in unstable orbits known as "Centaurs". NASA scientists are also using the New Horizons craft to analyze plasma, dust, and gas in the region.</p><p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image on-image"><p class="source"><span>NASA/JHUAPL/SwRI</span></p><p class="caption">For a short time, this New Horizons Long Range Reconnaissance Imager (LORRI) frame of the "Wishing Well" star cluster, taken Dec. 5, 2017, was the farthest image ever made by a spacecraft, breaking a 27-year record set by Voyager 1.</p></div><p></p></div></div></p><p>New Horizons first broke Voyager's photo-distance record on December 5, 2017, with an image of the "Wishing Well" star cluster, which it shot as part of a routine calibration process when it was 3.79 billion miles from Earth. In astronomical units (AUs) - a measurement of the average distance from the center of the Earth to the center of the Sun - it was 40.9 AUs away. The pale blue dot image, by comparison, was captured 40 AUs from Earth.</p><p>Several hours after that first image, New Horizons broke its own record with the two images at the top of this story.
