New Horizons - Brilliant app you should be using NOW

If you haven't already come across it, there is a really good NASA downloadable program (Mac and PC but not iPad) that simulates the current fly-through of the Pluto system. You see the orientation of the spacecraft and what its cameras are aimed at in real time. It's just like being there as it happens.

The link is

At the time of writing this there is only 2 hours 52 minutes to go to closest approach. Pluto and Charon are getting bigger by the minute. So if you want to tag along you'll need to get moving.
