New Horizons launched on January 19, 2006, and itâll reach Pluto on July 14, 2015. Do a little math and youâll 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.
Sparta (Doric Greek: ÏÏÎ¬ÏÏÎ±, SpÃ¡rtÄ; Attic Greek: ÏÏÎ¬ÏÏÎ·, SpÃ¡rtÄ) was a prominent city-state in ancient Greece. In antiquity the city-state was known as Lacedaemon (Î»Î±ÎºÎµÎ´Î±Î¯Î¼ÏÎ½, LakedaÃ­mÅn), while the name Sparta referred to its main settlement on the banks of the Eurotas River in Laconia, in south-eastern Peloponnese. Around 650 BC, it rose to become the dominant military land-power in ancient Greece.
Sparta was organized as a township by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on April 14, 1845, from portions of Byram Township, Frankford Township, Hardyston Township and (the now-defunct) Newton Township.
