New Horizons Venetia Burney Student Dust Counter Observes Higher than Expected Fluxes Approaching 60 au

The NASA New Horizons Venetia Burney Student Dust Counter (SDC) measures dust particle impacts along the spacecraft’s flight path for grains with mass ≥10 ^−12 g, mapping out their spatial density distribution. We present the latest SDC dust density, size distribution, and flux measurements through...
