Laurel, MD, Dec. 31, 2018: Astrophysicist Brian May was among the distinguished guests at the spectacular New Year’s Eve bash of NASA’s New Horizons Ultima Thule Flyby. What a way to ring in 2019! Dr. May even debuted a new original song, the aptly named "New Horizons" at midnight to celebrate. "To me, it is the incredible newness of it - May, a New Horizons mission team member, told reporters before the flyby. This is going way beyond where anyone has gone before, literally."
