NASA has announced the latest discoveries from the New Horizons spacecraft’s historic flyby of Ultima Thule in the far reaches of our solar system. Initial data analysis has also uncovered no evidence of rings or satellites larger than 1 mile in diameter orbiting Ultima Thule. NASA SPACECRAFT CAPTURES IMAGES OF ULTIMA THULE IN FARTHEST FLYBY OF SPACE OBJECT IN OUR SOLAR SYSTEMUltima Thule is deep within the so-called Kuiper Belt, or Twilight Zone, well beyond the orbit of Neptune. A day earlier, New Horizons yielded its first close-up pictures of Ultima Thule, depicting what NASA said looks like a reddish snowman. The two “lobes” of Ultima Thule are also nearly identical in color, scientists said Thursday.
