Looking forward to the arrival at Pluto, hopefully we will get to see it up close for the first time.  :fingers-crossed:

The probe will be making it's fly-by of Pluto on my parent's 58th wedding anniversary. Not horribly important when one considers "the big picture", but it's interesting to me, so I thought I'd share. :)
