Is there any available information on approximating or seeing the "distance" of where NH is compared to Pluto, and Jupiter? I'd like to be able to see where it is during the next few years:)

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?
