We made it! New Horizons at Pluto!

by skyrien

After decades of talk, 9.5 years of travel through the solar system, New Horizons conducts its flyby of the Pluto system today! It’s absolutely amazing that our technology has allowed us to reach this tiny TINY point of light so far away. Congrats to NASA, the New Horizons team! Today, humanity has another world to add to our list of visits.

 

Gorgeous Pluto! The dwarf planet has sent a love note back to Earth via our New Horizons spacecraft, which has traveled more than 9 years and 3+ billion miles. This is the last and most detailed image of Pluto sent to Earth before the moment of closest approach, which was at 7:49 a.m. EDT Tuesday – about 7,750 miles above the surface — roughly the same distance from New York to Mumbai, India – making it the first-ever space mission to explore a world so far from Earth. This stunning image of the dwarf planet was captured from New Horizons at about 4 p.m. EDT on July 13, about 16 hours before the moment of closest approach. The spacecraft was 476,000 miles (766,000 kilometers) from the surface. Images from closest approach are expected to be released on Wednesday, July 15.

Life Counter App is Alive!

by skyrien

I’m pleased to present Life Counter, my first mobile app publication to Google Play.

Life Counter is a simple tool that shows you how many days you’ve lived and your age in years. Additionally, it also can show you an how long you have to live based on an entered life expectancy. My favorite feature is the age counter, showing you how fast life is counting up (or down).

Later, I want to add support for widget with the Day counter and an Android Wear watch face and/or notifications with this info.

Download Life Counter on Google Play.
