Go long! Uh, keep going. No, more. Right now, NASA's #DeepSpaceNetwork station in Goldstone, Calif. is communicating with our New Horizons spacecraft...5.48 billion miles (8.82 billion kilometers) away. eyes.nasa.gov/dsn/dsn.html
ALT Screenshot of a web application showing the status of the ground stations of the Deep Space Network. The various antennas located at Madrid, Goldstone, and Canberra are shown, and the active antennas are represented by squiggly radio signal lines coming from the antenna. A large antenna at Goldstone is shown to be active, with information about the New Horizons spacecraft displayed.
So, wait... how big is a #DeepSpaceNetwork dish?
THIS BIG!
No matter who you are cheering for today during the #SuperBowl, we can all agree that the DSN is always a winner. It’s how we communicate with interplanetary spacecraft and explore the universe. 📡

The large dish takes up about two-thirds of the field, giving viewers a perspective of its massive size. There are words in the upper left-hand corner that say, "Deep Space Network." In the upper right-hand corner it reads, "70 Meters Across, 77 Yards Across."
Right now, our #JunoMission is inbound to Jupiter for the spacecraft's 56th close flyby of the giant planet, which will take place in a few hours. You can follow along in real time with the "Eyes on the Solar System" online app: eyes.nasa.gov/apps/solar-sys…
