On June 6, a NASA social media event was held at the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona, to discuss the New Horizons spacecraft and its upcoming flyby of the dwarf planet Pluto, scheduled July 14. More than 30 NASA social media followers from across the country applied for and were selected to attend the event, at their own cost.

 

The New Horizons spacecraft is part of NASA’s New Frontiers program and is managed by Marshall.
