NASA’s New Horizons Probe Is So Far Away, It Now Sees Stars in Different Positions Than We Do

Update: 2020-06-24

Description

A NASA parallax experiment involving New Horizons shows the probe now sees some stars in slightly different positions than we do on Earth, revealing just how far the spacecraft is from home. You can actually replicate this effect at home, kids. Fully extend your arm away from your face and raise a finger (anyone, you choose). You’ll notice that, when alternating between your left and right eyes, your finger will change position.
