NASA put a spacecraft in orbit around Mercury today after a 6 1/2 year journey. For this trip, slowing the spacecraft down enough for this maneuver took a number of gravity 'desist' maneuvers involving Earth, Venus, and Mercury itself.

 

One onboard camera is cooled by a paraffin 'bath' that freezes on the dark side and absorbs reflected heat from the sun while photographing the sunny side.

The New Horizons spacecraft will fly by Pluto in 2015 - the last of the unvisited original nine 'planets'.

 

In many ways, this is a great time to be alive.
