Thank you.

It seems to be heading in the general direction of Xi 1,2 Sagittarii,
less than a degree to the east of those stars, perhaps.

Different from the Pioneer and Voyager probes (and the future Project
Breakthrough Starshot), New Horizons is (currently) not supposed to leave
the Sol system in the first place, but to investigate Kuiper Belt objects
“at least a billion miles beyond Neptune’s orbit”. (Originally it was not
even supposed to explore beyond Pluto–Charon; the Kuiper Belt mission is
already the mission extension).

Read the mission description before you jump to conclusions (extrapolate a
trajectory) only from a *current* heading.

Think before you post. Whether or not its nearly linear path lines up
closely enough to any additional objects that it can study them is a
matter of luck. Its trajectory is hyperbolic; it WILL leave the Solar
System, and there's no way to change that. It was always understood
that its trajectory would cause it to do so.
