I have been following the close encounter of Pluto by the New Horizon spacecraft.  I remember being similarly excited when Voyager visited Uranus & Neptune, and when Giotto visited Comet Halley.  I think those first-encounter spacecrafts hold a unique place in mankind, because they elevate what we know about such bodies from basically just a few numbers you can write down on a piece of paper to high resolution images that we can, rather flippantly, print onto a poster for your bedroom.  In contrast, subsequent orbiting spacecrafts, which although were far more sophisticated, had the less enviable task of adding more detail to those first-contact images.  Data which were far more important to professional planetary scientists but which, also rather flippantly, won't introduce any materially new posters for your bedroom.
The images from Pluto beamed from the New Horizon spacecraft firmly belong to the first-contact category and in the next few months will send data that will represent a huge step-change in our understanding of that dwarf-planet.  And if you want to see how New Horizon and the other spacecrafts are being tracked, the strangely addictive NASA Deep Space Network tracking website (http://eyes.nasa.gov/dsn/dsn.html) will tell you which one is sending signals to which radio telescope in the network.

Back on planet Earth (I think), this lady is about to get married but claims to not be very photogenic.  I don't think she'll need to worry about her wedding pictures.
