New News from NewHorizons2015: New Horizons Kuiper Belt Flyby Object Officially Named 'Arrokoth' https://t.co/Tma3VHfqyx #UltimaThule #UltimaFlyby
#OnThisDay 15 March 2018 the @NewHorizons2015 #spacecraft was 1/2 way in time through its last hibernation period prior to its New Year flyby of #UltimaThule (#2014MU69)
Hibernation ended on 4 June 2018 & #UltimaFlyby was on 1 January 2019
#NewHorizons #Pluto #PlutoFlyBy #MU69
1st objectives of #UltimaFlyby: Map #2014MU69’s shape, geology, color units & surface composition & search for satellites/rings.
2nd objectives: Search for atmosphere, solar wind interaction, map topography & take temps of day & night sides.
All of these objectives were met!
“Sharpest Ultima Thule” is #NASA #astronomy picture of the day by @apod/@JHUAPL/@SwRI https://t.co/Boz6rlF5qg As more #UltimaFlyby images taken Jan 1 continue to download from @NASANewHorizons spacecraft, some are improvements over previous views of #UltimaThule like this.
#DidYouKnow this #PlutoFact?
@NewHorizons2015 launched in 2006 (same year as @twitter launched) & flew by #Jupiter #OnThisDay 28 February 2007 (same year 1st #iPhone was launched)!

#TodayInSpace “Ultima Thule Beyond #Pluto Is Flat Like a Pancake (and Not a Space Snowman After All)” - and that is why we wait to learn more - didn’t see this one coming! #UltimaFlyby #NewHorizons #Space https://t.co/gnv27rKxbA
Once again, a touching note and demonstration of how @NewHorizons2015 team and mission have inspired. Check it out! Matthew, we on @NASANewHorizons are honored by your inspiration. #Space #NASA #Science #UltimaFlyby
ウルティマ・トゥーレの夜側の一部が、自身の反射光で照らし出された「ウルティマ照」（Ultimashine）。
二つの天体が接合した形状ならではか。
探査機ニュー・ホライズンズが今年の元日、最接近直後に振り返って逆光で撮影。

... still trying to get used to the idea of a ‘flat’ #UltimaThule, playing with @NewHorizons2015 @NASA @JHUAPL @SwRI latest model...

#BREAKING
Según datos revelados por #NewHorizons esta sería la forma correcta de #UltimaThule:
#NASA #ultimaflyby #space
#OnThisDay 4 February 1906 #ClydeTombaugh was born
He sent drawings of #Jupiter& #Mars to @LowellObs & was offered a job
In 1930 he discovered #Pluto the 1st object discovered in the #KuiperBelt

One month ago New Horizons flew by Ultima Thule, here's 14 timed photos (gray), and ellipsoid model comparison on brown with some appox. circle markings. 15.9 hour rotation, 324 r.a., -24 decl rotational axis. And I'm using NASA's up view as north.
One year on @NewHorizons2015 is en route to an as yet unknown target in an as yet unexplored deep dark corner of our #SolarSystem, careering through the vastness of the #KuiperBelt: what mysteries await?
Go #NewHorizons go!
Meanwhile we have 1% of data back from #UltimaFlyby
#OnThisDay 19 January 2006 #NewHorizons was launched
After #Pluto in July 2015, @NewHorizons2015 is now en route to its flyby of #KBO #2014MU69 on 1 January 2019
Spend Next New Year’s Eve with New Horizons: https://t.co/e1hYKtA9p0

@2014Mu69 in enhanced contrast and inverted brightness. Makes it easier to spot subtle brightness variations across the surface. This is the most "bulbous" space potato I have ever seen! Original data at https://t.co/qbhpGENQpW
