New Horizons Time Capsule: Nine Years of Change
New Horizons Time Capsule: Nine Years of Change In 2006, Victor Coelho of Portugal included an image of son Peter in the New Horizons Digital Time Capsule. Pictured here is Peter in the original 2006 image and later in 2015 holding a poster of New Horizons. Victor included this message for his son: “What on Earth will have changed by the time New Horizons arrives at Pluto? The children. Peter has a poster of New Horizons in his room. Peter is eight years old now. What will Peter be like in nine years? How will he look back at his poster? Greetings, Peter of the future! From your father, 2006.” Victor Coelho
