I also noticed Dawn is getting closer to Mars. It is going to do a flyby on February 9th.

Mars used to be a spacecraft’s destination. Now it is being used as a gravity assist. We have come a long why in planetary exploration.

New Horizons is past Saturn’s orbit.

We have a lot of spacecrafts moving around the Solar System.
