In 9 hours it will go past the moon (the fastest probe we ever launched) and in 10 years (give or take a day or two) will fly by Pluto on its way to the Kuiper belt. Just a little wait and we'll see some awesome pictures. :)
No it did not. The window was until the end of January. It will fly by Jupiter in July 2007.
