2015 is going to be a big year for space exploration!
The New Horizons spacecraft will fly past the dwarf planet Pluto in a few months and will undoubtedly send back some pretty mind blowing images. I remember watching the launch 9 years ago live on NASA TV. Seems like it was only yesterday...
There's also the "Dawn" probe which will give us the first ever closeup of the dwarf planet Ceres in the Asteroid belt this year.
