For those of you who may not closely follow space exploration, New
Horizons is a spacecraft which launched January 19, 2006, and will
fly by Pluto July 14, 2015. Right now it’s flying by Jupiter, with
some awesome shots of the volcanoes on Io erupting.
The Planetary Society sponsored a worldwide contest last year for
images to be placed in the New Horizons Digital Time Capsule. I
submitted one of the pictures I took on my honeymoon, because I
was really proud of the picture and thought it was a nice summation of
(one part) of life in 2006.
They picked my picture!!! It’s in the Technology section,
labelled picture d.
My name is even there, with my not-so-excellent prose trying to
explain why I thought it was a good picture to select. Look at them
soon—they’ll disappear in a month and be hidden until 2015.
Yes, I know the picture is in Brian’s photostream, but I took it. He
posted all the honeymoon pictures
