Closest approach came at 7:49 a.m. EDT. To celebrate, NASA gave out the latest photo of Pluto. It showed a reddish world with an amazing heart-shaped feature on its surface.After todays close encounter, all the nine solar systems traditionally recognized planets have now been visited by a spaceship-a huge project begun in 1962 when NASAs Mariner 2 probe flew past Venus, a planet in the solar system. More than l,200 scientists, NASA guests and important persons, including 200 reporters, watched the flyby live at New Horizons mission control center.That close encounter has been a long time coming. The $723 million New Horizons mission launched in January 2006 but began taking shape in 1989. New Horizons is a capstone mission, Glen Fountain, mission project manager told Space, com. It is the first completion of the observations of our solar system. Its giving us a new idea about how we human beings fit into the universe.New Horizons faced a crazy number of challenges, Stern, a driving force behind New Horizons said, So many people stuck with this for so long.

A Close Approach to Pluto2BHaving spring around makes you feel different after such a long winter journey. The power of sunshine brings us a lot of comfort, optimism, self-confidence and of course a smile. Imagine how great it will be if we are so positive all year round！Living like this is possible if you really think about it. In order to exist in such a state of happiness, we must have sunshine radiating from within ourselves, shining from our hearts, minds and souls. Actually, thats your choice, and if you think that way then your own life will reflect that attitude of yours!In order to make sunshine or rather, light part of our being, it is so important that you watch your thoughts, your words and your actions so that you will accept what you really feel youd like to create in your own life. Watch your thoughts and really become aware of how many negative thoughts pass through your mind about yourself and other people around you. Watch to see how often you gossip (说闲话) about other people, which is actually often attached with feelings of jealousy (妒忌) and insecurity about yourself.You are also supposed to take a close look at your intention. How many of you do something for another person without expecting to receive something in return? It might not even have to be a material or physical thing you expect; expecting to be recognized for what you have done is enough to create conditions on your intention. Think about it!Putting all of these together, it seems that most of us are creating monsters inside us just by simply talking, thinking and not putting our heart out with the right intention towards helping someone else. If you take all your negative attitudes in one hand and measure your need to feel sunshine in the other, you will see how both these elements really contradict each other.Be brave and break your patterns and your habits this spring, and by doing so. You will allow the true sunshine to take place by radiating out from your heart and into your life and the lives of the people around you！24.
