Hubble Telescope Finds Promising Candidates For New Horizons Journey

An article published gizmag.com discusses what KBO's New Horizons may encounter once enters into the Kuiper Belt region. According to the article Nw Horizons is scheduled to move beyond Pluto by next year, and with this we will be exploring territories never having been explored before by man made space craft. With this promising venture shortly on its way, NASA has discovered three new KBO's, and one of these may be the missions next target. Supposedly this destination is located in the Sagittarius constellation. These new Kuiper Belt Objects were found after careful observations made by the Hubble space telescope. Being that visiting these objects were not the original plan for the mission, being that the probe was on its way to Pluto when it was still classified as a planet, it will be interesting to see how these extended observations made by the probe will play out.
