Ok, so we're jumping on the bandwagon a bit late with this one, but whadyagonnado?

Unless you spend your days in a Wi-Fi-less cave, you probably heard the hoopla last month about New Horizons, that unmanned NASA spacecraft that traveled for almost a decade, covering three billion miles, all to get a nice, albeit brief, Pluto photo opp. In mid-July the spacecraft beamed those coveted images of the mysterious "dwarf planet" back to earth, and, without so much as stopping for a bathroom break, continued on its lonely voyage.

If you're still looking for a good opportunity to dork out on New Horizons' path past the outer limits of our solar system, look no more! Stuart Lynn's visualization will guide you thorough the longest road-less trip ever.
