Here is a widget for Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger, and you can keep tracking New Horizons's distance to Pluto right in your Dashboard.

New Horizons is now no more than 4700 million kilometers away from Pluto.

rg = 4 700 000 000 km
rr = 30.547 km/s
v = 43.422 km/s

And for those of us (Java-blessed) who like the spinning ellipses, we can always scroll down to "Trajectory Simulation" at http://www.inspacepropulsion.com/teachers/fun.html and see the animations...

According to it, though, New Horizons will be the second probe to reach Pluto - after Voyager 1 did the same in 1986. tongue.gif Parallel-universe Voyager, anyone?
