Now that the candle's been lit (hurray!) presumably we will soon be finding out the exact dates New Horizons will fly past Jupiter and Pluto. This has ramifications for a number of things, including the distances of closest approach to the various Jovian satellites (including any possible passes by its outer irregulars) and the viewing geometry for the two newly discovered moons of Pluto.
I though it'd be a good idea to put this discussion in a separate thread instead of burying it in the other threads here (some of which are getting pretty huge). [Edit: Aw, heck... I forgot to fully capitalize NH in the thread title. That looks confusing. Can someone please fix it? Thanks in advance.] |

Didn't he said in the press conference that all the calculations of the tour dates etc are already done? Probably we will see them here soon.
