three, two, one, go, new horizons! nasa scientists wait to find out whether their space probe, new horizons, has successfully flown past the most distant object ever explored. the robotic craft was due to fly past the icy mass of ultima thule four billion miles from earth a few hours ago. we set a record. never before has a spacecraft explored anything so far away. counter—terror police are continuing to question a man suspected of stabbing three people at manchster‘s victoria station. the world welcomes in 2019. london celebrated the new year with a specatacular display of fireworks. in edinburgh, home of hogmanay, the city's castle was [it up by fireworks as thousands attended a concert headlined by franz ferdinand. this party is one of the biggest parties in the world. new year is celebrated all across the globe and people celebrate in all sorts of ways, but i don't think anywhere does it quite like hogmanay. and in half an hour, victoria derbyshire looks back on some of the memorable moments from her programme in 2

three, two, one, go, new horizons!this morning, the probe should have whipped by its target, flashing its cameras and gathering all sorts of scientific data. researchers believe the deep—frozen, 30—kilometre—wide object can tell them new things about how the solar system formed, 4.6 billion years ago. ultima appeared as a tiny blob in the pictures taken on approach. the new ones, when they arrive, should be very detailed. but patience is required. the vast distance radio signals must travel to get home mean the images will take fully 20 months to download. the great thing about such a slow data transmission rate is that it‘s almost a gift that keeps on giving. every week or so, we‘ll get new images back from the spacecraft, and we‘re going to learn new things for the next two years, out through most of 2020, of what ultima thule looked like during the fly—by. new horizons will continue to push deeper and deeper into space. with plenty of fuel and power, scientists say it could keep working until the 2030s. by that stag

and then, the team hopes that new horizons will be able to journey even further out. researcher of astrophysics at the university of manchester, explained why the encounter is so significant. it's a snapshot of what the solar system might have been like 4.6 billion years ago, because this object has not changed much in that time. this area, this region just outside our galaxy is known as the kuiper belt, not somewhere we have been able to explore before. tell us bit more about what they are hoping to learn. yes, this is the kuiper belt, so this is on the edge of our solar system, so this is really going out quite far out. there have only been a few probes that have made it this far out before. and we are looking at these cold and distant objects that have been perfectly preserved. i am marveling really when i watch this at this sort of technology and what they have been able to do. because effectively it is a slingshot into space and they have managed to channel it toward this object that they have seen through their telescopes. just explain to us the extraordinary ach

speck in the hubble space telescope field of view it was it wasn't even identified until after new horizons has launched so it's really just sort of piggybacking on what was already an incredible mission and bringing more new science about this really distant cold outer reaches of the solar system which is also a really good way to look back at how the solar system formed and what it was like in those early days because there's not a whole lot go a lot out there in some way. so meghan tell me a bit more about the rocket self why is it that this particular op can reveal so much about the formation of the cell a system. sure well it's not this particular rock so much of like literally at the rock out there we just don't have a lot of data about objects in the paper belt so getting anything is really great for science so we don't know a whole lot about this object right now we don't even know if it's one object or a couple of objects sort of stuck together and floating together so i think i can't really answer your question except stay to did wait to hear what the why by teachers show and megh

hopefully new horizons has not crashed into it but there is no guarantee, is there?s could have a big impact. when it has done thisjob, it could have a big impact. when it has done this job, it will carry on, will it, into the depths of the universe? it is heading out of the solar system. it is possible it might have enough fuel to go and visit another rocky body in the belt 01’ visit another rocky body in the belt or it will keep on going out. we will have to see. can the scientist control it or is itjust too far? we can still send commands to it. that is what they had to do in the run—up to the flyby, they sent course corrections in the run—up to the flyby. depending on how much fuel them is left and depending on if there is anything interesting left to spot, they could continue well into the future. some details in the next few hours. about 3:30 p:m. , i think that we are expecting the signal. i will be glued to the news. that‘s all we‘ve got time for this morning on breakfast. i‘ll be back here tomorrow with charlie. see you at 6am. happy new year! bye— bye. this
