    that image was a speculation of the early solar system billions of years ago.

  • Why are the visuals showing the asteroid belt look like a dense ring system??? Seriously, Nimoy and scientists speaking here get totally undercut by crappy science.

  • LEONARD NIMOY?!?!?!?!?

  • Think New Horizons will reach first with Dawns launch being pushed back to September.

  • Dawn is scheduled to fly past Mars by April 2009, and after more than four years of travel, the spacecraft will arrive at Vesta in 2011.

    The spacecraft will orbit Vesta for about nine months before setting off in 2012 for a three-year cruise to Ceres.

    Dawn will arrive at Ceres in 2015 to conduct studies for at least five months.

    The race is on, which will be the first probe to reach a dwarf planet, New Horizons at Pluto or Dawn at Ceres, both scheduled for 2015?
