+Bino-viewer Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 It doesn't look unlike 67P (Rosetta comet) with the big bit and the little bit. A duck springs to mind...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAZ Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 As with 67P it does look like two objects that have come together. It does support the theory of how stuff gently came together to form the early solar system. It's a cracking image and I look forward to seeing what else they found as New Horizons shot past.

Tweedledee Posted January 4, 2019 Author Share Posted January 4, 2019 Yes it is a very interesting shape very similar to 67p. 67p is a bit smaller at just over 4km. Ultima is 33km. Maybe there are a lot more with a similar shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAZ Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 They are looking for a moon in orbit around this object now. https://www.space.com/42894-ultima-thule-moons-new-horizons.html +Graham 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Graham Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Now that would be something else if they find one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
