NASA probe that visited Pluto and Kuiper belt object 486958 Arrokoth
New Horizons is a NASA spacecraft that traveled to Pluto and beyond, visiting the distant icy world and a Kuiper Belt object called Arrokoth to study these remote regions of our solar system. These missions matter because they provided the first close-up images and data of Pluto and the Kuiper Belt, helping scientists understand how objects at the edge of our solar system formed and evolved.
