NASA 's New Horizons spacecraft conducted the first and only flyby of the Pluto system in July 2015 .
New Horizons is now in hibernation mode, but the spacecraft is still collecting heliophysics data around the clock.
The timing of New Horizons' crossing of the termination shock is a "gueling game," says principal investigator Alan Stern .
New Horizons team is "extraordinarily excited" to contribute first -of-a-kind measurements of the outer boundaries of the heliosphere.
Project scientist Pontus Brandt : "I think we may have only seen the tip of the iceberg of the Kuiper Belt" New Horizons' findings are taking center stage at an upcoming 10th anniversary of the Pluto flyby science meeting.
