This illustration shows NASA's New Horizons spacecraft's view of our solar system from deep in the Kuiper Belt. New Horizons is currently at an estimated distance of more than 5 billion miles from Earth. The probe was 6.5 billion miles away from Uranus when it recently observed the planet. In this study, researchers used the gas giant as an exoplanet proxy, comparing high-resolution images from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope to the smaller view from New Horizons to learn more about what to expect while imaging planets around other stars.
