I find it mind blowing that Nasa's New Horizons space probe is not only an amazing 6.5 billion km from Earth (!!!), but also that we are still 'talking' to it (just) and also that it is travelling at an incredible 14km per second!

    I agree.  It's incredible that the photographer managed to avoid blurring when it's travelling at such a pace.

    Not as impressive as the voyager probes still sending data and they were launched in the 70s
