New Horizons launched on Jan 19th 2006 and will fly past Jupiter on Feb 28th.
Comet McNaught pass the orbit of Jupiter about 10 days after the NH Launch - and will be on the way back out, crossing the orbit of Venus when NH makes it's closest approach to Jupiter. I don't think there's much chance of a competative race on the way back out again though Doug |
