On April 7, 2016, the NASA workforce working NASA’s New Horizons mission have been ready nervously. The spacecraft was about to enter the outermost reaches of our photo voltaic system.
They’d aimed towards Pluto. Which lives in a area of the photo voltaic system known as the Kuiper Belt.
Simply earlier than arriving on the dwarf planet, the workforce observed an object, found by the astronomers in 1994, close by. And it was appearing very unusual. This object, no matter it was, was spinning sooner than every part else round it. Too quick. Artificially quick. And the thing mirrored gentle in an odd method.
New Horizons modified course to do a fly-by. They needed a greater take a look at this weird habits.
However because the spacecraft approached the thing, all communications went down.
The New Horizons spacecraft out of the blue put itself into secure mode. Nothing was damaged however NASA wasn’t in a position to see or hear something.
One thing or somebody was controlling it and blocking the sign and if there may be somebody controlling the thing, they do not wish to be seen and of all of the locations within the photo voltaic system the Kuiper belt is the very best place to cover.
Whoever it was didn’t need NASA to know they have been right here and that they’ve been watching us for a really lengthy. time.
Though NASA did lose contact with New Horizon at one time limit it isn’t a shock that there is not any official file of New Horizons breaking down.
