New Horizons at Ultima Thule - HD stock video

Animation of the space probe New Horizons at the Kuiper Belt object Ultima Thule (2014 MU69). The spacecraft passed this object on 1st January 2019, revealing it to be a contact binary formed of two smaller objects, with a total length of just 31 kilometres. It became the most distant object ever visited by a probe, orbiting the Sun at a distance of some 6.6 billion kilometres (nearly 45 times the Earth-Sun distance). New Horizons had previously passed Pluto in July 2015, and had been redirected to Ultima Thule after that
