Summary

NASA's New Horizons probe has successfully woken from hibernation nearly 6 billion miles beyond Pluto, reporting good health after almost a year of passively collecting data. The spacecraft will now transmit its collected data and begin a study of hydrogen in the outer heliosphere, providing unique insights into the boundary between the sun's influence and interstellar space.
