And, to add fuel to the fire, what about collectible cars which do not have to be old at all? An example of a modern-day collectible car is the Ford GT, built in 2005 and 2006. Ford made it to pay homage to their 60's GT40 and now both the GT and GT40 are extremely collectable. So too is a Porsche 911 Carrera GT, made since 1997 and also extremely collectable.
And the Sun, Earth and Pluto are lined up in a perfect line. The distance would be about 4.2 billion km. At their most distant, Earth would be at its furthest at the opposite side of the Sun from Pluto. The distance would be about 7.5 billion km. So Earth is between 4.2 and 7.5 billion km from Pluto.
New Horizons launched on January 19, 2006, and it'll reach Pluto on July 14, 2015. Do a little math and you'll find that it has taken 9 years, 5 months and 25 days. The Voyager spacecraft did the distance between Earth and Pluto in about 12.5 years, although, neither spacecraft actually flew past Pluto.t its closest point, known as perihelion, Pluto is only 4.4 billion kilometers out. That's nearly 30 AU, or 30 times the distance from the Earth to the sun. Pluto last reached this point on September 5th, 1989.
