After Pluto, What’s Next for New Horizons Spacecraft?

NASA’s New Horizons space probe is set to zoom by Pluto next summer. Where should it go after that?

A NASA spacecraft may have another frigid object in its sights after zooming past Pluto next summer.

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has
spotted three faraway bodies that the New Horizons probe could
potentially visit after completing its highly anticipated flyby of the
Pluto system in July 2015. One of these newly identified objects is
definitely reachable, researchers said, while further tracking is
required to determine if the other two are indeed accessible.
