Pluto Bound!
The Space probe New Horizons will blast off for Pluto and the Kupier belt at 5:43 am AEDST(about 18:24 UT). If you are up that early, try to check out NASA TV's webcast. Despite problems with a fuel cylinder, all appears go at the moment. You can see a Webcast of the prelaunch briefing here, and an article on the probe is here on ABC science. Other views can be seen at the Bad Astronomer, Stuart and Toms Astroblog.
