New Horizons launched on January 19, 2006, and it'll reach Pluto on July 14, 2015. Do a little math and you'll find that it has taken 9 years, 5 months and 25 days. The Voyager spacecraft did the distance between Earth and Pluto in about 12.5 years, although, neither spacecraft actually flew past Pluto.t its closest point, known as perihelion, Pluto is only 4.4 billion kilometers out. That's nearly 30 AU, or 30 times the distance from the Earth to the sun. Pluto last reached this point on September 5th, 1989.

The transducer sends and receives sound waves through the body, then converts the waves into images on a monitor. Normal and abnormal tissues and organs contain different acoustic properties which are recorded by the sound waves during an ultrasound.

An abdominal ultrasound can be used to evaluate the gallbladder, liver, bile ducts, pancreas, spleen, and kidneys.
