[QUOTE="Standing_Ultraviolet, post: 64696175, member: 266500"] I kind of doubt that there's going to be anything of significant interest within a distance that would make for photos that would have a widespread appeal. The majority of the research after it gets past Pluto is probably going to be more for the scientific community than for anyone else, unless it makes a particularly important discovery or you really like looking at slowly moving pinpoints of light. That's probably the one unfortunate aspect of space travel. Everything out there is so huge that, if you want to get close to anything at any substantial distance, you have to aim for it several years out and hope that nothing goes wrong. You can do interesting research without getting close, but Pluto is probably going to be the only Kuiper Belt object that we have a detailed photograph of for a while. [/QUOTE]
