Currently, New Horizons is around 33.32 AU. Planet nine is suspected to be a minimum of 200 AU. Does New Horizons have enough delta V to change its course to possibly do a flyby of the ninth planet? Its supposed to be rather large so it wouldn't have to be too precise, it would just need to get close.
I'm making a composite image of all the planets (previous version: http://imgur.com/itRTZS0), and I'm wondering whether it's worth waiting for the newer photos or not. So: does anyone know roughly (like, next few months/sometime in 6 months/within 12 months) when we'll get the highest resolution full image of Pluto? Possibly a bit of a shot in the dark this, I know. Many thanks :)
