Nine years after its initial launch, NASA's New Horizons spaceship is scheduled to sweep past Pluto and its moons on July 14.Taken from an 8-million km distance at a snail's pace of 57,900 km/hr, this is the latest photo of Pluto and its largest moon, Charon: Photo: https://timedotcom.files.wordpress.com/2015/07/pluto_charon_color_final.png?w=1041 Here's the same photo without Charon: http://static2.businessinsider.com/image/559ef3772acae7c7018b6508-1086- 814/new/horizons/pluto/haron.png "[NASA] will gather so much information about Pluto and its moons [in a 2-hour period] that it will take New Horizons until the end of 2016 to transmit all its data back to Earth." Cool, right? IP: Logged |

This event of bringing more of Pluto to Humanity will also trigger more events linked to Pluto inspired Transformation triggered by the square to UranusGlobal Politics will be transformed with the Iran Deal for instance, which synchronized with the Pluto Visual Transmission. Arab Spring could re-start with Iran getting international legitimacy and Global Investment. Saudi Arabia and GCC Nations will have to change, to allow more freedom and thereby not lose out to Iran. Global Economy will see a shift too. Chinese bubble burst and Greece nearly exit the EU. More turmoil here to come.

Hmm...! appeared in my fb page 8 hrs ago ... http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-33517492 ~ Uhhh... Uranus is kicking a$$ while chewing some gum... lol seems like a nice square, at least so far ... -------------------------------- [Edit] No, it seems that I was highly, highly wrong. Very, very, very mistaken hmmm... Today - weird day lol , damn pentaquarks and the 38 they hold =D which is the same value for the white rose, why is the white rose interested in many pentaquark(s)? What a bizarre astrological pattern is in 14/06/2015... could I be wrong again? Poor Lord Pluto, I don't think He would like to be "used" like that... hmmm... ( when I have these feelings, better to go out and feed some birds lol ) IP: Logged |
