Theory to check next time... This was just about the doors were opening to reveal Atlantis. Do they dim the lights for a moment while the door opens?

You just have to go there to really take in how large this device is.

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.

I was invited to the RBSP NASA Social this week and even though we didn't get to see it launch (it's delayed until Aug 30 2012 now) I did manage to get this pano. This is a rather large image and the web hardly does it justice. I can't wait to get it printed!
