New Horizons is now 8.73 AU out from Pluto and 22.69 AU from earth. That’s a bit over 3 hours and 8.5 light minutes away from us.

Yes, and aside from the dust counter and the SWAP particle instrument, the spacecraft is in hibernation until next year’s rehearsal. They just had the three-years-until-encounter party in Boulder last week.
