The New Horizons Spacecraft

On this Friday's Astronomy feature, Computer and Electronics Specialist Bob Baer gives us an update on the New Horizons Spacecraft that is scheduled to pass within 7,000 miles above the Dwarf-Planet Pluto. And tonight, if you look due West at Dusk and after the sun goes down, you can see the planet Venus shining brightly very brightly.  Special thanks to Bob Baer, and the website EarthSky.org.
