Here Comes Ultima Thule!
Posted: Sun Dec 30, 2018 10:47 am
History will be made on Tuesday when Nasa's New Horizons probe sweeps past the icy
world known as Ultima Thule. Occurring some 6.5 billion km (4 billion miles) from
Earth, the flyby will set a new record for the most distant ever exploration of a
Solar System object by a spacecraft. New Horizons will gather a swathe of images
and other data over the course of just a few hours leading up to and beyond the
closest approach.
